Publication number: 20240268904Abstract: Surgical systems and methods involve manipulation of a bone. A robotic manipulator supports and moves a surgical tool that has a cutting bur rotatable about a cutting axis. Controller(s) control the manipulator to align the cutting axis to a target axis associated with the bone and advance the cutting bur along the target axis towards a cortical region of the bone. The controller(s) control the surgical tool to rotate the cutting bur about the cutting axis and contact the cortical region. The controller(s) detect, from sensor(s), forces applied to the cutting bur by the cortical region and compare the sensed forces to a threshold indicative of skiving of the cutting bur relative the cortical region. In response to the sensed forces exceeding the threshold, the controller(s) adjust control of the manipulator and/or surgical tool to reduce forces applied to the cutting bur by the cortical region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Jamil Elbanna, Michael Prieto, Vijay Subramanian, Jienan Ding

Patent number: 11337766Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for preparation of a bone structure wherein a robotically controlled cutting bur is utilized for both milling the entry point at the outer cortical region and cannulation of the cancellous bone region for receipt of an implant. A robotic manipulator supports and moves the cutting bur and one or more controllers analyze measurements from sensors and, in response, control the robotic manipulator and/or the cutting bur for purposes such as landmark detection to determine entry point, avoiding tool skiving at entry point, and avoidance of cortical wall breach during cannulation. Also described are techniques for managing feed rate, rotational cutting speed, or mode of operation depending on operational conditions surrounding various stages of cannulation. A control interface is also provided to enable the user to manage or adjust cutting bur operation and feed rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Jamil Elbanna, Jienan Ding, Michael Prieto, Vijay Subramanian
