  • Publication number: 20230085725
    Abstract: A computer-assisted surgery system allows a user to control movements of a surgical tool by providing, to a control unit, inputs in the form of measured displacements via a movable part of a handle while treating a region of interest with the tool. The control unit is configured to enable motion of the tool with respect to an anatomical structure only if a user moves the movable part, receive the measured displacement of the movable part, receive from a localization unit the relative position and orientation of the tool relative to the anatomical structure, based on the measured displacement, on the surgical plan and on the relative position and orientation of the tool relative to the anatomical structure, compute an instruction to send to a motorized joint to move a robotic arm to operate the tool according to an optimal trajectory, and send the computed instruction to the motorized joint.

  • Publication number: 20230058837
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for guiding an osteotomy procedure on at least one bone selected from a tibia and a femur pertaining to a patient's lower limb to correct a misalignment of said lower limb, wherein a tibial tracker is fixed to the tibia and a femoral tracker is fixed to the femur, comprising: receiving at least one target alignment parameter of the lower limb; determining a position of a set of characteristic points on at least one of the tibia and the femur relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker; applying mechanical constraints to the lower limb to bring the lower limb in a constrained position simulating laxities and/or soft tissues influence tracking positions of said characteristic points relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker based on localization data of the set of characteristic points during application of said mechanical constraints, determining at least one alignment parameter of the lower limb in said const
