Patent number: 11627979Abstract: A method of performing surgery on a bone includes providing a robotically controlled bone preparation system and creating at least one hole in the bone with the robotically controlled bone preparation system prior to machining the bone. The bone hole aligns with a hole or a post in a guide for a manual cutting tool. If the robot fails during surgery, or if the surgeon does not wish to complete the procedure with the robot, the guide is attached to the bone after aligning the guide hole with the bone hole. The surgery is completed manually after the guide is attached to the bone, and the robot is not used after the guide is attached to the bone.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Lou Keppler, Sathiya Prabaharan, Emily Hampp, Stuart L. Axelson, Jr., John R. Fossez

Publication number: 20230080908Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for determining resection depths for a knee arthroplasty procedure. The method may comprise the steps of determining a joint translation threshold, determining a joint translation of the femur with respect to the tibia during a joint gap measurement, setting a final joint gap measurement and determining knee resection depths based on the final joint gap measurement. The joint translation threshold may be defined as a translation distance of a femur with respect to a tibia. The joint translation may be less than or equal to the joint translation threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Azhar Ali, Emily Hampp, Xiangyi Liu, Ormonde Mahoney

Patent number: 11602356Abstract: A dynamic trialing method generally allows a surgeon to perform a preliminary bone resection on the distal femur according to a curved or planar resection profile. With the curved resection profile, the distal-posterior femoral condyles may act as a femoral trial component after the preliminary bone resection. This may eliminate the need for a separate femoral trial component, reducing the cost and complexity of surgery. With the planar resection profile, shims or skid-like inserts that correlate to the distal-posterior condyles of the final insert may be attached to the distal femur after the preliminary bone resection to facilitate intraoperative trialing. The method and related components may also provide the ability of a surgeon to perform iterative intraoperative kinematic analysis and gap balancing, providing the surgeon the ability to perform necessary ligament and/or other soft tissue releases and fine tune the final implant positions based on data acquired during the surgery.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Stuart L. Axelson, Jr., Emily Hampp, John R. Fossez

Publication number: 20220031473Abstract: Disclosed herein is a balancer algorithm to perform joint balancing calculations to identify target solutions based on surgeon preference. The balancer algorithm can generate a suggested final implant plan from a predetermined range. The balancer algorithm can be used in a knee arthroplasty procedure to generate bone resection depths, bone gaps, implant angulations, required soft tissue release, etc. Input to the balancer algorithm can include preoperative data, intraoperative data, and surgeon preference data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Matthew Carter, Matt Walker, Xiangyi Liu, Azhar Ali, Daniele De Massari, Thies Wuestemann, Sietske Witvoet, Emily Hampp, Jason Karl Otto, Kelly Dunn, Kevin Bechtold

Patent number: 11065015Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods of patella arthroplasty. A navigated patella clamp used in an arthroplasty procedure includes first and second movable jaw members and an actuation member coupled to the first and second jaw members for moving the first and second jaw members along a plane toward and away from one another. The patella clamp further includes a tracker and adjustable stylus for positioning the clamp on a patient's patella below a desired resection plane. The adjustable stylus coupled to the clamp is used to check the position and orientation of the clamp with respect to the patella to ensure the correct amount of bone will be resected from the patella corresponding to the thickness of a patella component that will be implanted on the resected patella.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Emily Hampp, John R.
