  • Publication number: 20260191589
    Abstract: Functional alignment of a 3D image of pelvis includes identifying a reference points on each 2D image of weight-bearing pelvis; identifying corresponding reference points on a 3D image of pelvis in a non-weight bearing position; constructing references on the 2D images based on the reference points on each respective image, constructing a corresponding reference on the 3D image based on the reference points thereon; and aligning the corresponding references of the 3D image with the references of 2D images, to provide a functionally aligned 3D image to more accurately plan placement of an acetabular shell.

  • Publication number: 20260157807
    Abstract: A system for computer assisted navigation during surgery includes computer platform that operates to identify a set of locations at which a navigated instrument is palpitating a landmark defined on a surface of a pelvic bone of a patient. Further operations determine a center of rotation for a pelvic acetabulum of the patient based on the identified set of locations at which the navigated instrument is palpitating the landmark. Operations determine an orientation of an anterior pelvic plane (APP) and/or a functional pelvic plane (FPP) of the patient based on the identified set of locations at which the navigated instrument is palpitating the landmark and based on the determined center of rotation for the pelvic acetabulum.

  • Publication number: 20260120302
    Abstract: A system for computer assisted navigation during surgery includes a computer platform that operates to register a target surgical area of a patient. In certain cases, a process includes: obtaining a pre-op CT image of a pelvic region of a patient and intra-operatively obtaining a point cloud data about the pelvic region with a navigated instrument, generating a 3D bone model which excludes non-targeted area such as a femur, and then merging the 3D bone model to the point cloud to register the target surgical area.

  • Publication number: 20250277580
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for performing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure to provide a patient with kinematic alignment of the knee. Such methods, systems, and devices include image-based and imageless workflows for pre-operatively or intra-operatively identifying the patient's native posterior tibial slope, and planning the TKA procedure based on the identified slope, including planning of the tibial cut plane.
