Publication number: 20210322177Abstract: A femoral prosthetic component includes a patellar guide portion, a pair of condyles projecting from the guide portion and forming an intercondylar notch therebetween, a bearing surface, and an interface surface configured to face a resected surface of a femur. The interface surface comprises an anterior face and a posterior face, and is substantially contoured between the anterior and posterior face to match a contoured surface of the femur. The substantially contoured interface surface may include at least one planar surface portion to about a flat cut portion in the surface of the femur. This planar surface portion may be a distal flat at a distal face of the interface surface. The contoured interface surface may alternatively include a plurality of planar surface portions. The femoral prosthetic component is configured such that preparation of the bone to match the interface surface results in minimal resection of the distal femur.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Mark Ellsworth Nadzadi, Jason Karl Otto, Amit Mistry

Publication number: 20190321126Abstract: Systems, methods and software are provided for aiding in positioning of a camera relative to objects in a surgical environment. The camera has a 3D field of view and senses positions of the objects in the field of view. A controller is coupled to the camera and defines a first zone and a second zone within the field of view. Each zone defines a range of acceptable positions for one of the objects relative to a position of the camera. The controller receives the position of the objects. A graphical user interface displays image representations of: the field of view, the first zone relative to the field of view, the second zone relative to the field of view, the position of one object relative to the first zone, and the position of another object relative to the second zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Applicant: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Jason Karl Otto, Matthew Thompson, Mark Ellsworth Nadzadi, Roberto Montane, Jonathan Morgan, Bojan Gospavic
