  • Publication number: 20240398481
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure a method may include reading, by a surgical controller through an arthroscope, a portion of a machine-readable pattern on a reamer visible within a surgical site. The method may include determining, by the surgical controller, an actual depth of the reamer within a bone based on the portion of the machine-readable pattern. The method may include displaying, by the surgical controller on a display device, a value indicative of the actual depth of the reamer within the bone. The method may include controlling, based on the value of the actual depth, operation of a drill associated with the reamer.

  • Publication number: 20240122671
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that provides novel mechanisms for arthroscopic applications using real-time blood flow information. The disclosed framework operates by determining a real-time (or near real-time or substantially simultaneous) visualization of blood vessels or perfusion within anatomical structures during intraoperative procedures, and leveraging this determined information for the performance of an arthroscopic procedure. The disclosed framework can enable an arthroscopic camera to see blood flow and perfusion in tissues in real-time, which allows for differentiation of various parts of the anatomy that may otherwise be undetectable.

  • Publication number: 20230200928
    Abstract: Surgical methods and devices that facilitate registration of arthroscopic video to preoperative models are disclosed. With this technology, a machine learning model is applied to diagnostic video data captured via an arthroscope to identify an anatomical structure. An anatomical structure in a three-dimensional (3D) anatomical model is registered to the anatomical structure represented in the diagnostic video data. The 3D anatomical model is generated from preoperative image data. The anatomical structure is then tracked intraoperatively based on the registration and without requiring fixation of fiducial markers to the patient anatomy. A simulated projected view of the registered anatomical structure is generated from the 3D anatomical model based on a determined orientation of the arthroscope during capture of intraoperative video data. The simulated projected view is scaled and oriented based on one or more landmark features of the anatomical structure extracted from the intraoperative video data.

  • Publication number: 20220218271
    Abstract: In some aspects, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed that has an application stored thereon that when executed by a processor of an electronic device causes the processor to perform a process. The process can include receiving motion data from a motion sensor, the motion data being indicative of motion by a user while wearing the motion sensor. The process can also include transmitting the motion data to a server, receiving from the server a time that the motion data indicates a foot of the user experienced a loading force which risked adversely impacting an existing foot ulcer or causing a new foot ulcer, determining a geographic location of the motion sensor at the time that the foot experienced the loading force, displaying the time and the geographic location, and requesting that the user identify an activity engaged in by the user at the time and the geographic location.
