  • TECHNOLOGIES FOR INTRA-OPERATIVE LIGAMENT BALANCING USING MACHINE LEARNING
    Publication number: 20230337969
    Abstract: A computing system having at least one sensor, at least one processor, and at least one memory including a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, causes the computing system to receive one or more surgical parameters associated with a ligament balancing of a patient's joint, receive real-time sensor data generated by the at least one sensor and indicative of at least one characteristic of the patient's joint, and apply machine learning to determine a next ligament balancing step of the ligament balancing of the patient's joint based on the one or more surgical parameters and the real-time sensor data, wherein the next ligament balancing step is a step of one or more steps intended to result in a target state of the patient's joint identified by the machine learning.
