Publication number: 20240016477Abstract: An ultrasound scanning system adapted for scanning a joint of a limb. The scanning system includes a reservoir with one or more walls that define a reservoir interior to hold a fluid and receive the limb therein. A transducer is disposed within the reservoir interior and has ultrasound emitters and receivers. The transducer surrounds the joint within the reservoir interior. A transducer positioning system is disposed outside of the reservoir and includes an actuator to move a transducer carriage along a guide. The transducer carriage couples to the transducer across the wall of the reservoir using non-contact coupling. The transducer positioning system moves the transducer carriage along the guide to move the transducer within the reservoir interior. In some implementations, the reservoir includes a distal closure which the limb can extend beyond. The distal closure fits around the limb to create a seal between the limb and the distal closure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Hyosig Kang, Snehal Kasodekar, Peter L.

Patent number: 11484368Abstract: A method for intraoperatively planning and facilitating a revision arthroplasty procedure. The method includes capturing positions of a tracked probe as the tracked probe contacts an interface area between a bone and a primary implant component implanted on the bone, intraoperatively generating a virtual boundary corresponding to a portion of the interface area to be removed to detach the primary implant component from the bone using the positions of the tracked probe and without use of pre-operative medical imaging, facilitating removal of the primary implant component from the bone by providing a constraint on operation of a cutting tool while the cutting tool removes the portion of the interface area, the constraint based on a relationship between the cutting tool and the virtual boundary.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Viktor Krebs, Hyosig Kang, Snehal Kasodekar, Matt Harrow, Jienan Ding, Ta-Cheng Chang, Min Wu, Jean Gonzalez, Peter Ebbitt
