Abstract: Robotic systems and methods for preparing a humerus to receive a shoulder implant involve a robotic manipulator and first and second cutting tools configured to be interchangeably coupled to the robotic manipulator. A controller controls the robotic manipulator and the first cutting tool to resect a head of the humerus along a resection plane to define a resection surface for supporting the shoulder implant. The controller controls the robotic manipulator and the second cutting tool to form at least one bore below the resection surface to receive at least one attachment feature of the shoulder implant.

Abstract: Robotic systems and methods for robotic arthroplasty. The robotic system includes a machining station and a guidance station. The guidance station tracks movement of various objects in the operating room, such as a surgical tool, a humerus of a patient, and a scapula of the patient. The guidance station tracks these objects for purposes of controlling movement of the surgical tool relative to virtual cutting boundaries or other virtual objects associated with the humerus and scapula to facilitate preparation of bone to receive a shoulder implant system. In some versions, planning for placement of a stemless implant component is based on a future location of a stemmed shoulder implant to be placed in the humerus during a revision surgery.
