  • Publication number: 20240023977
    Abstract: A reamer attachment system for attaching a reamer to a robotic arm comprises a reaming guide comprising a guide shaft and a collar attached to the guide shaft, a reamer shaft extending through the collar to articulate against the collar, and a reamer lock couplable to the reamer shaft to engage the collar and prevent axial displacement of the reamer shaft relative to the collar while permitting the reamer shaft to articulate against the collar. A method for collaborative reaming of a bone between a surgical robot and a surgeon comprises positioning a reamer guide at a location in a coordinate system for the surgical robot system using a robotic arm of the surgical robot, coupling a reamer to the reamer guide such that a reamer axis passes through the location, constraining movement of the reamer along the reamer axis, and pivoting the reamer at the location to remove bone.

  • Publication number: 20230094132
    Abstract: A device for registering a bone for a robotic shoulder arthroplasty with a surgical robot. The device can include a first portion engageable with a first portion of a bone and can include a second portion engageable with a second portion of the bone, the second portion connected to the first portion and rotatable with respect to the first portion. The device can include a registration device connectable to the first portion and configured to interface with the surgical robot for registration of the device and the bone. The device can include an actuator engageable with the first portion and the second portion to move the second portion toward a closed position away from an open position.

  • Publication number: 20230023476
    Abstract: An reaming system can be connectable to a robotic surgical system including an end effector of a robotic arm. The reaming system can include a reaming guide and a reamer. The reaming guide can include a body releasably couplable to the end effector at a proximal portion of the body and a housing located at a distal portion of the body. The reamer can be operable to ream bone. The reamer can include a support releasably couplable to the housing to secure the reamer to the reaming guide and the end effector. The reamer can include a cutting head connected to the support, the cutting head rotatable with respect to the housing when the support is coupled to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20210330402
    Abstract: A robotic surgical system can include an end effector coupled to a robotic arm. A reamer operable to ream bone can be coupled to the end effector (e.g., via a retainer). The reamer can include a primary driveshaft and a cutting head. The primary driveshaft can be rotatable about a first axis of rotation and the cutting head can be rotatable about a second axis of rotation, for example parallel to and offset from the first axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20210128179
    Abstract: Patient-specific instrumentation for reverse shoulder surgery includes a jig having a contact surface including a patient-specific surface portion negatively shaped as a function of a glenoid surface and configured to be applied against the glenoid surface in unique complementary engagement. A first throughbore opens into the contact surface, the first throughbore having an axis corresponding to a first altered bone plane in the glenoid surface. A second throughbore opens into the contact surface, the second throughbore having an axis corresponding to a second altered bone plane in the glenoid surface. The axes of the first throughbore and of the second throughbore are not parallel to one another.

  • Patent number: 10016241
    Abstract: A method and system for planning a creation of a cement bore in a bone comprises obtaining a virtual model of a bone, the model of the bone including a proximal bone surface, a distal bone surface, and a depth profile between the proximal bone surface and the distal bone surface. A planned positioning of a first implant selected to be implanted in the proximal bone surface is obtained. An identity of at least one tool used to alter the proximal bone surface to receive the first implant in the planned positioning and obtaining geometry data for the at least one tool is obtained. A cement bore required in the bone using the geometry data of the at least one tool and the planned positioning of the first implant is generated. The virtual model of the bone with the cement bore indicative of a relation between the cement bore and the distal bone surface is output.
