Patent number: 8977021Abstract: A method for customizing an interactive haptic boundary based on a patient-specific feature comprises identifying a reference feature associated with a virtual implant model. The method also comprises determining an intersection between the identified reference feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient. A virtual haptic boundary is generated based on the determined intersection between the identified reference feature associated with the virtual implant model and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Hyosig Kang, Jason Otto

Publication number: 20140189508Abstract: A method for guiding a user during surgical planning includes receiving input information; applying an algorithm to the input information to develop an initial surgical plan; and guiding a user by providing a plurality of suggested actions to the user. If the user performs the plurality of suggested actions, the plurality of suggested actions leads the user to the initial surgical plan. The user has an option to deviate from one or more of the plurality of suggested actions by performing non-suggested actions. Deviation from one or more of the plurality of suggested actions leads to development of a final surgical plan that is different from the initial surgical plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Inventors: Carinne Granchi, Jason Otto, Tom Coon, Michael Ballash, Tamas Erdos

Patent number: 8652210Abstract: Knee prostheses featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignees: Smith & Nephew, Inc., The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Jason Otto, Brian McKinnon, Dean Hughes, Michael Ries, Jan Victor, Johan Bellemans, Johnathan Garino, Timothy Wilton

Publication number: 20120310617Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for implant planning for multiple implant components using constraints. A representation of a bone and a representation of a first implant component are displayed with respect to the representation of the bone. A representation of a second implant component is displayed, wherein the first implant component and the second implant component are physically separated and not connected to each other. A positioning of the representation of the second implant component that violates at least one positioning constraint is prevented, wherein the positioning constraint is based on the representation of the first implant component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventors: Alexandra Bellettre, Louis Arata, Robert Van Vorhis, Jason Otto, Jason Wojcik

Publication number: 20080262812Abstract: The description relates to surgical computer systems, including computer program products, and methods for implant planning using captured joint motion information. Data is captured representative of a range of motion of a joint associated with a particular individual, where the joint includes a first bone and a second bone. The first bone of the joint is represented and a first implant model is associated with the representation of the first bone. Based on the captured data, a relationship is determined between the first implant model and a representation of the second bone through at least a portion of the range of motion of the joint. Information is displayed representative of the determined relationship.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Louis Arata, Alon Mozes, Jason Otto, Robert Van Vorhis
