Publication number: 20240245458Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing robotic joint arthroscopic surgery are disclosed. The disclosed systems use a surgical robot network that receives medical images of a patient and generates a 3D rendering of the various medical images. A surgeon or physician is enabled to select workflow objects (such as various tools). The workflow objects can be selected in a sequence for performing actions on the 3D rendering. Data related to the workflow objects and actions in relation to the 3D rendering are stored. The surgeon or physician is enabled to select and perform various repairing techniques and input calculations of the actions performed. The user inputs, workflow objects, and actions with respect to the 3D rendering are sent to a surgical robot for performing robotic joint arthroscopic surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey Roh, Mihir Patel, Justin Esterberg, John Cronin, Seth Cronin, Michael John Baker

Patent number: 11963724Abstract: This specification describes systems, methods, devices, and related techniques for optimizing 3D printed implants. A 3D network can collect medical images from an imaging device and create a 3D image of the damaged or malfunctioning body part. The 3D network allows a user to alter the 3D image to fix the damages or malfunctions and the 3D network, compares the altered 3D image to a historical database containing healthy patient's medical images, and provides recommendations to allow the user to further enhance the altered 3D image. The 3D network then performs a simulation on the enhanced 3D image to determine, if the 3D image was printed, if it will be successful or not. Once successful, the 3D image is printed using a 3D printer and the user tests the compatibility of the 3D printed object to determine if the implant or transplant would be successful.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: 1X Innovation LLCInventors: Jeffrey Roh, Justin Esterberg, John Cronin, Seth Cronin, Michael John Baker
