  • Publication number: 20240108359
    Abstract: A reference jig comprises a base adapted to be secured to a distal end of a bone. An adjustment mechanism has a bracket, one or more rotational joints operatively mounting the bracket to the base, whereby the bracket is rotatable in two or more rotational degrees of freedom relative to the base, and one or more translational joints. A landmark alignment unit is operatively connectable to the bracket by the at least one translational joint, the landmark alignment unit having a bone alignment component configured to be aligned with at least one bone landmark.

  • Patent number: 11819219
    Abstract: A tibia cutting assembly includes a tibia cut guide with at least one cut slot. A guide rod has a guide holder mountable to the cut guide at a first end of the guide rod, and a second end of the guide rod is mountable non-invasively about a skin of a patient. The guide rod is extendable in length to displace the tibia cut guide and adjust a position thereof with respect to a tibia of the patient. The guide holder cooperates with the tibia cut guide to adjust an orientation of the tibia cut guide. A first inertial sensor is mountable to the guide holder and is displaceable therewith, and a second inertial sensor is mountable to the guide rod at the second end thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230233145
    Abstract: A surgical sensor system for collecting internal patient data comprises a prosthetic implant comprising a housing, a sensor disposed within the housing and an internal power device connected to the sensor; and an external interrogation device comprising a wireless power signal generator for activating with the internal power device of the prosthetic implant. A method of remotely interacting with a sensor device implanted in anatomy with an orthopedic device comprises generating a wireless powering signal, activating the sensor device with the wireless power signal, collecting sensor data from the sensor device, and wirelessly communicating the sensor data from the sensor device using a low-power wireless signal.

  • Publication number: 20230013210
    Abstract: Systems that may be used for performing a robotic revision knee arthroplasty are disclosed. Such systems can optionally include a processor that can: intraoperatively receive a plurality of position data obtained by a robotic surgical device after a primary implant has been removed from a bone, the plurality of position data correspond to a plurality of landmarks of the bone of a patient, the plurality of landmarks include a position of an intramedullary canal of the bone; select from a database having a plurality of mean models of a corresponding bone a mean model that comprises a best match based upon the plurality of landmarks of the bone; generate an updated model by altering the mean model to fit an anatomy of the bone of the patient based upon the plurality of landmarks; and output to a user interface the updated model for use during the robotic revision knee arthroplasty.
