Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for the planning and execution of computer-assisted robotic surgery are provided. The methods include methods to collect information about bones and prostheses, use the information to create virtual models and simulations, optionally receive input based on user discretion in generating the cut file, and to generate instruction for the execution of cut paths during the surgery. The system and devices include computers and peripherals and set-ups to link the components together into functional systems.

Abstract: A system and method are described herein for installing hardware in a bone outside an end-effector's tool path prior to modifying the bone. The method includes the installation of a first piece of hardware in the bone. The bone and a cut volume to be created in the bone is registered to a computer-assist device. A processor calculates whether the hardware is within the cut volume based on the geometry and POSE of the hardware relative to the POSE of the cut volume. A user is notified if the hardware is at or inside the cut volume based on the calculation. If so, a second piece of hardware is installed in the bone and the calculation is repeated to determine if the second piece of hardware is at or inside the cut volume. The surgical procedure may commence when an installed piece of hardware is installed outside the cut volume.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems and devices for image-guided, computer-assisted surgical procedures, in particular for intra-operative registration of anatomical structures. Embodiments of the invention may enable a user to register the surface of an anatomical structure intra-operatively in an interactive, computer-guided process. The user may send information about acquired data points to the computer, and the computer may evaluate the aggregate of data points, optionally provide instructions to the user for acquisition of additional data points, and signal to the user when sufficient data points have been acquired for registration of the surface of the anatomical structure.
