Abstract: Robotic surgical methods and apparatuses, including systems, for determining positioning information using a combination of AI landmark-identification and visual imaging. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for determining how to train the AI. Also described herein are end effector devices that may be used with any of the robotic surgical methods and apparatuses. Also described herein designs and techniques incorporating AR into robotic surgical procedures.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and a method for affixing soft tissue to bones. The system for fixing soft tissue within a bone tunnel comprising a first fixation member having a proximal end and a distal end and a bore extending from said proximal end to said distal end, said first fixation member is adapted for insertion against a first portion of a soft tissue positioned within a bone tunnel, a second portion of said soft tissue emerging from said bone tunnel; a second fixation member adapted to engage said bore of said first fixation member, having means for restraining disengagement therewith and a proximal end; and a third fixation member adapted to engage said second portion of said soft tissue, having means for coupling onto said proximal end of said second fixation member and restraining disengagement therewith.

Abstract: A pain alleviation method as well as cartilage sparring or repairing method in the intraoperative as well as perioperative time of treatment device are disclosed herein. Pain maybe alleviated by applying a pulsed radio frequency (PRF) signal in the intraarticular as well as intrabursal or intracapsular area of a joint, while controlling the fluids in the joint area using suction. A device for carrying out the method includes a PRF electrode, a suction device, removing the fluids in the intraarticular and/or intracapsular and/or intrabursal area of a joint. The PRF electrode and suction device maybe collocated in a flexible tube that maybe applied through a cannula. PRF signal is applied to the electrode for approximately 10 minutes at 2 Hz with a pulse width of approximately 10 ms and approximately 55 V at approximately 42 degrees or similar setting.
