  • Patent number: 9314351
    Abstract: A femoral sizing instrument for use in a knee joint replacement procedure has a housing which includes formations by which it can be located relative to the femoral posterior condyles. A cortex arm has a tip for engaging the anterior cortex of the femur and a sulcus arm has a tip for engaging the sulcus. Each of the cortex and sulcus arms can be adjusted relative to the housing to adjust the distance between its tip and the posterior condyles measured generally parallel to the anterior posterior axis. The instrument includes at least one scale for indicating the positions of the tips of the cortex and sulcus arms relative to the posterior condyles.

  • Patent number: 9125669
    Abstract: A haptic robotic system for reaming an acetabulum prior to inserting an acetabular cup is more accurate than conventional instruments and may reduce the risk of dislocation and improve durability of a hip implant. Disclosed is a three-dimensional tool path, referred to as a haptic volume. Once the haptic volume is implemented into the software of a haptically constrained surgical robotic system, the cutting tool or reamer can only be utilized within the haptic volume. The haptic volume guides the surgeon in preparing the final reamed bone surface with a greatly reduced chance of the reaming unintended bone and greatly increases the chance that the reaming procedure may be carried out using one reaming tool, or using a single-stage reaming process.

  • Patent number: 8828020
    Abstract: A femoral sizing instrument for use in a knee joint replacement procedure has a housing which includes formations (4) by which it can be located relative to the femoral posterior condyles. A cortex arm (14) has a tip (16) for engaging the anterior cortex of the femur and a sulcus arm (20) has a tip (24) for engaging the sulcus. Each of the cortex and sulcus arms can be adjusted relative to the housing to adjust the distance between its tip and the posterior condyles measured generally parallel to the anterior posterior axis. The instrument includes at least one scale (13,23,27,25) for indicating the positions of the tips of the cortex and sulcus arms relative to the posterior condyles.
