  • Publication number: 20230013210
    Abstract: Systems that may be used for performing a robotic revision knee arthroplasty are disclosed. Such systems can optionally include a processor that can: intraoperatively receive a plurality of position data obtained by a robotic surgical device after a primary implant has been removed from a bone, the plurality of position data correspond to a plurality of landmarks of the bone of a patient, the plurality of landmarks include a position of an intramedullary canal of the bone; select from a database having a plurality of mean models of a corresponding bone a mean model that comprises a best match based upon the plurality of landmarks of the bone; generate an updated model by altering the mean model to fit an anatomy of the bone of the patient based upon the plurality of landmarks; and output to a user interface the updated model for use during the robotic revision knee arthroplasty.

  • Publication number: 20220387121
    Abstract: A device for registering a bone for a robotic knee arthroplasty with a surgical robot can include a plate and a registration device. The plate can be engageable with the bone and can include a lateral portion, a medial portion, and a hinge. The registration device can be connected to the plate and can be configured to interface with the surgical robot for registration of the plate and the bone.

  • Publication number: 20220183701
    Abstract: To address technical problems facing knee arthroplasty resection validation, the present subject matter provides a tracked knee arthroplasty instrument for objective measurement of resection depth. By performing a precise comparison between the location of the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument and a reference location, the knee arthroplasty instrument measures and validates each tibial and femoral resection. To address technical problems facing validation of joint laxity following knee arthroplasty, the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is shaped to validate the flexion gap and extension gap. When the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is inserted between the resected tibial plateau and femoral head, the instrument shape validates whether the desired flexion gap and extension gap have been achieved.

  • Publication number: 20210038328
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be used for performing a robotic revision knee arthroplasty. For example, a robotic surgical device may be used to perform a cut. The cut may be planned to remove an existing implant based on information about the existing implant (e.g., reference points on the existing implant, an implant type, a maker of the implant, degradation information about the implant, a failure reason for the implant, or the like). In an example, a new plan may be developed for a new implant to replace the existing implant.
