  • Patent number: 11672610
    Abstract: An end effector for a computer-assisted surgical system includes a mount configured to be coupled to an arm and a housing coupled to the mount and configured to interchangeably support a first operating member and a second operating member. When the housing supports the first operating member, the housing is configured to prevent translation of the first operating member relative to the mount. When the housing supports the second operating member, the housing is configured to allow translation of the second operating member relative to the mount along a first axis.

  • Patent number: 11304758
    Abstract: A memory device stores instructions, which, when executed by a controller, cause the controller to perform tasks. The tasks include obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient's pelvis, identifying two landmarks of the 3D model of the patient's pelvis, defining a coronal radiographic plane of the patient, and determining a mediolateral axis of the 3D axis based on the two landmarks. The tasks also include planning the surgical placement of the acetabular cup into the acetabulum by positioning a virtual model of the acetabular cup relative to the 3D model and determining a planned version and a planned inclination based on the virtual model of the acetabular cup, the mediolateral axis and the coronal radiographic plane.

  • Patent number: 10531924
    Abstract: A system and method for determining inclination and version of a prosthetic acetabular cup relative to a coronal radiographic plane is provided. The system and method include the identification of a coronal radiographic plane in a three dimensional medical image. The system and method further include the identification of two symmetric landmarks on the pelvis to determine a mediolateral axis. The version and inclination can then be calculated based on the relationship between the axis of the acetabular cup, the coronal radiographic plan, and the mediolateral axis.
