  • Publication number: 20250073049
    Abstract: A method for designing a uni-compartmental orthopaedic prosthesis includes generating a three-dimensional statistical model of a knee joint, determining a curvature of a section of a bone of the knee joint represented by the three-dimensional statistical model, and designing a section of the uni-compartmental orthopaedic prosthesis corresponding to the section of the bone of the knee joint to have a curvature that matches the curvature of the section of the bone of the knee joint. Additionally, a tibial and femoral uni-compartmental orthopaedic prosthesis are also disclosed, each of which includes a section having a curvature that matches a corresponding section of a corresponding bone of the knee joint represented by the three-dimensional statistical model.

  • Publication number: 20240216066
    Abstract: Systems and methods for planning and assisting orthopaedic surgical procedures include a computer system and a robotic surgical device. The computer system receives a set of target joint space values including a target extension space value and a target flexion space value. The computer system initializes a surgical plan including planned resection heights and determines a set of current joint space values based on the surgical plan. The computer system adjusts one or more planned resection heights of the surgical plan until the set of current joint space values matches the set of target joint space values. The computer system may control the robotic surgical device according to the surgical plan.
