Abstract: A sliding bearing includes an inner ring element; an outer ring element; and at least one sliding bearing element, which is arranged between the inner ring element and the outer ring element, wherein a bearing surface of the sliding bearing pad and a counterface of the outer ring element abut one another, wherein the sliding bearing element includes at least two sliding bearing pads.

Abstract: A slide bearing arrangement includes an inner ring element, an outer ring element, and at least one slide bearing element, which is arranged between the inner ring element and the outer ring element. The slide bearing element includes at least two slide bearing pads, wherein the individual slide bearing pads each have a bearing surface that is cambered, viewed in an axial direction, and wherein an apex of the bearing surface has the largest diameter of the bearing surface.

Abstract: A computer visual guidance system for guiding a surgeon through an arthroscopic debridement of a bony pathology, wherein the computer visual guidance system is configured to: (i) receive a 2D image of the bony pathology from a source; (ii) automatically analyze the 2D image so as to determine at least one measurement with respect to the bony pathology; (iii) automatically annotate the 2D image with at least one annotation relating to the at least one measurement determined with respect to the bony pathology so as to create an annotated 2D image; and (iv) display the annotated 2D image to the surgeon so as to guide the surgeon through the arthroscopic debridement of the bony pathology.

Abstract: A method for guiding bone removal during a surgical procedure includes receiving a two-dimensional image of at least a portion of a joint during the surgical procedure, determining an alignment of a pre-generated three-dimensional model of the at least a portion of the joint with the two-dimensional image based on one or more features in the two-dimensional image that are associated with the at least a portion of the joint, wherein the pre-generated three-dimensional model comprises a representation of planned bone removal, generating an overlay image based on the determined alignment, the overlay image comprising an overlay of at least a portion of the representation of planned bone removal on the two-dimensional image, and displaying the overlay image to guide bone removal during the surgical procedure.

Abstract: Disclosed are computer visual guidance systems for guiding surgeons through arthroscopic debridement of bony pathologies, including by automatically generating annotations relating to characteristics of bony pathology in an image. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a determination as to whether a femoral head of the bony pathology is endospherical or exospherical. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a mathematical model created based on anatomies of subjects other than the patient. Further disclosed is a user interfaces for guiding a surgeon through arthroscopic debridement of a bony pathology, wherein intraoperative images are displayed simultaneously with a preoperative plan comprising interactive three-dimensional models of an anatomical feature of a patient.
