  • Publication number: 20220370157
    Abstract: A system for performing at least a portion of a robotic knee arthroplasty can include a robotic surgical device including an end effector configured to receive a trial component removably connected thereto. The trial component can be engageable with a resected bone. The system can include a processor communicatively coupled to the surgical robot. The processor can be configured to determine a characteristic of the resected bone. The processor can be configured to plan a placement location of the trial component on the resected bone based on the determined characteristic of the resected bone. The processor can be configured to move the end effector to position the trial component on the resected bone based on the determined characteristic of the resected bone and based on the plan.

  • Patent number: 10932796
    Abstract: A tool body having a first clamp element positioned on a first tool arm and a drill guide positioned on a second tool arm. The surgical tool can also have a slider element slidable on the tool body, the slider element having a depth probe and a second clamp element. The second clamp element can be engaged with the first clamp element such that the first and second elements cooperate to define a clamp opening for receiving a supplemental screw.

  • Patent number: 10420614
    Abstract: Various systems, devices, and methods for facilitating efficient anatomical registration in surgical navigation are disclosed. Such systems and devices can have a data collection unit and a scaling device. The scaling device has a main body having an anatomical registration feature defined therein and at least one scaling marker pathway that is selectively oriented with respect to the anatomical registration feature to facilitate repeatable gross placement of a scaling marker relative to a selected anatomical feature. The scaling marker is selectively displaceable along a scaling marker pathway about and between a first end and a second end thereof to fine-tune scaling marker placement prior to image capture.
