  • Publication number: 20250064601
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-assisted method for planning an osteotomy procedure on at least one bone selected from a tibia and a femur of a patient's lower limb to correct a misalignment of said lower limb, in which said bone is to be partially cut into two bone portions articulated by a hinge zone, said bone portions are to be distracted or closed until a deformed configuration of the bone and an implant is to be screwed to said bone portions to maintain the bone in said deformed configuration, comprising: •—obtaining an at least partial 3D model of the tibia and/or the femur and a 3D model of the implant; •—receiving at least one user input comprising at least one target alignment parameter; •—based on the at least partial 3D model of each bone and the at least one user input, implementing a dynamic simulation of each cut and of distraction or closing of the bone portions to compute a deformed model of each bone to be cut resulting from the simulated cut(s) and distraction or closing; •—bas

  • Publication number: 20240374342
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for guiding an osteotomy procedure on a tibia and/or 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, said system comprising a control unit configured to be coupled to a localization system adapted to track a position and orientation of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker, wherein the control unit is configured to: —receive at least one target alignment parameter of the lower limb provided by a user; —determine a position of a set of characteristic points on the tibia and/or the femur relative to the tibial tracker and/or the femoral tracker; —track the positions of said characteristic points relative to the tibial tracker and/or the femoral tracker based on localization data of the set of characteristic points during application of mechanical constraints by the user onto the patient's knee, said tracked positions forming a knee

  • 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.
