  • ROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTED ARTHROPLASTY PROCEDURES
    Publication number: 20220409396
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant and a second planned position of an augment relative to a bone. The augment is planned to provide support between the bone and the implant. The method also includes preparing the bone to receive both the implant in the first planned position and the augment in the second planned position by controlling a robotic device based on the first planned position of the implant and the second planned position of the augment.

  • Robotic surgery system for augmented hip arthroplasty procedures
    Patent number: 11478362
    Abstract: A system for facilitating arthroplasty procedures includes a robotic device, a reaming tool configured to interface with the robotic device, and a processing circuit communicable with the robotic device. The processing circuit is configured to obtain a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant cup and a second planned position of an implant augment relative to a bone of a patient, determine a planned bone modification configured to prepare the bone to receive the implant cup in the first planned position and the implant augment in the second planned position, generate one or more virtual objects based on the planned bone modification, control the robotic device to constrain the cutting tool with the one or more virtual objects while the cutting tool interfaces with the robotic device and is operated to modify the bone in accordance with the planned bone modification.
