Patent number: 11627979Abstract: A method of performing surgery on a bone includes providing a robotically controlled bone preparation system and creating at least one hole in the bone with the robotically controlled bone preparation system prior to machining the bone. The bone hole aligns with a hole or a post in a guide for a manual cutting tool. If the robot fails during surgery, or if the surgeon does not wish to complete the procedure with the robot, the guide is attached to the bone after aligning the guide hole with the bone hole. The surgery is completed manually after the guide is attached to the bone, and the robot is not used after the guide is attached to the bone.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Lou Keppler, Sathiya Prabaharan, Emily Hampp, Stuart L.

Patent number: 11602356Abstract: A dynamic trialing method generally allows a surgeon to perform a preliminary bone resection on the distal femur according to a curved or planar resection profile. With the curved resection profile, the distal-posterior femoral condyles may act as a femoral trial component after the preliminary bone resection. This may eliminate the need for a separate femoral trial component, reducing the cost and complexity of surgery. With the planar resection profile, shims or skid-like inserts that correlate to the distal-posterior condyles of the final insert may be attached to the distal femur after the preliminary bone resection to facilitate intraoperative trialing. The method and related components may also provide the ability of a surgeon to perform iterative intraoperative kinematic analysis and gap balancing, providing the surgeon the ability to perform necessary ligament and/or other soft tissue releases and fine tune the final implant positions based on data acquired during the surgery.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Stuart L.

Patent number: 11318027Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for bone preparation with designed areas having accurate tolerance profiles to enable improved initial fixation and stability for cementless implants and to improve long-term bone ingrowth/ongrowth to an implant. One method includes preparing a bone surface to receive a prosthetic implant thereon by resecting the bone surface using a first cutting path to create a first resected region and resecting the bone of the patient using a second cutting path to create a second resected region at least partially overlapping the first resection region. The second cutting path is different than the first cutting path and either manual or robotic cutting tools can be used for creating the first and second resected regions.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Stuart L.
