Abstract: A surgical assistance system may obtain a pre-revision model of a bone of a patient. The prerevision model of the bone represents a pre-revision state of the bone after a prior orthopedic surgery on the bone. In this example, an orthopedic prosthesis was attached to the bone during the prior orthopedic surgery. Additionally, the surgical assistance system may obtain intra-revision imaging data of the bone. The intra-revision imaging data represents an intra-revision state of the bone during the orthopedic revision surgery after removal of the orthopedic prosthesis from the bone. The surgical assistance system may determine, based on the intra revision imaging data, damaged and intact parts of the bone. The surgical assistance system may then generate a second intra-revision model of the bone by modifying the pre-revision model of the bone to exclude damaged parts of the bone.

Abstract: Imagery of patient anatomy may be captured with an imaging device. The imaging device may be configured to capture only a portion of the patient anatomy, including one or more bones of the patient. A surgical planning system may be configured to predict or otherwise determine a geometry of the omitted portions of the anatomy based on a comparison of the captured anatomy to the anatomy of another patient. The determined geometry of the omitted portions may be utilized to plan a surgical procedure for restoring functionality to the bone and/or an associated joint. Surgical planning methods for determining omitted portions of patient anatomy are also disclosed.

Abstract: Bone fractures may be associated with one or more fragments separated from a bone. The fractured bone may be captured with an imaging device. The disclosed systems may be configured to predict or otherwise determine a position of the fragments prior to occurrence of the bone fracture. The determined position may be utilized to position and secure the fragments during a surgical procedure. Methods for determining the pre-fracture position of bone fragments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques are described for bone-graft harvesting in orthopedic surgery. Processing circuitry may obtain a virtual model of a bone graft to be harvested from a donor bone, wherein the virtual model of the bone graft specifies a volume of the donor bone to be harvested as the bone graft; and output for display, via a visualization device, a graphical representation of the specified volume to be harvested relative to a portion of the donor bone viewable via the visualization device.

Abstract: An example system includes a clamping tool including opposable surfaces configured to rest on and bear against a surface of a bone; and a registration marker of a mixed reality surgery system, the registration marker attached to the clamping tool.

Abstract: Improved surgical planning systems and methods are provided for planning orthopaedic procedures, including pre-operatively, intra-operatively, and/or post-operatively to create, edit, execute, and/or review surgical plans. The surgical planning systems and methods may be utilized for planning and implementing orthopaedic procedures to restore functionality to a joint. A scapulothoracic contribution to a range of motion may be determined. Range of motion simulations may be performed on a shoulder joint based on the scapulothoracic contribution.

Abstract: An extended reality (XR) visualization device worn by an orthopedic surgeon outputs a XR visualization for display. The XR visualization includes a set of one or more virtual checklist items. Each of the one or more virtual checklist items corresponds to an item in a checklist of steps of an orthopedic surgery. Additionally, the XR visualization device detects a command of the orthopedic surgeon to select a virtual checklist item in the set of virtual checklist items. In response to detecting the command, the XR visualization device updates the XR visualization to include additional information regarding a step of the orthopedic surgery corresponding to the selected virtual checklist item.
