  • Computer-assisted tibia resection
    Patent number: 12708374
    Abstract: A resection system for the proximal tibia may include an implantable device having at least a first sensor configured to collect first data regarding one or more characteristics of a bone of a patient, wherein the implantable device is configured for implantation in a medullary canal of the tibia. The resection system may also include a cutting tool, a second sensor configured to collect second data regarding at least an angle of the cutting tool and a controller. The controller can be configured to: determine a first position of the implantable device from the first data, determine an orientation of a mechanical axis of the tibia based at least in part on the first data; and determine an orientation for the cutting tool relative to the tibia based upon the second data and at least one of the orientation of the mechanical axis and the first data.
