  • Publication number: 20250057611
    Abstract: Surgical systems and methods involving a reamer tool and a surgical robotic arm. The reamer tool has a shaft, a tool engagement surface coupled to the shaft, and a reamer head attached to the shaft. The surgical robotic arm supports a guide that can receive the reamer tool. The guide has a pair of arms, each arm extending to an arm end and the arm ends being spaced apart from one another to provide an opening between the arm ends. A channel is formed between the arms. The guide enables a portion of the shaft to move through the opening between the arm ends such that the shaft portion can enter and exit the channel. The arms define a guide engagement surface that is arc-shaped and that enables contact with the tool engagement surface to facilitate alignment of the reamer tool and the guide.
