摘要:
Systems and methods for providing a reference for an acetabular cup lane in accordance with embodiments of the invention can include a method performed by a computer-aided surgical navigational system with a display screen and at least one sensor. The method can include detecting at least one array associated with a platform upon which the patient is supported in a supine position. The method can also include defining a surgical reference plane for a surgical procedure associated with an acetabular component, based at least in part on detecting the array associated with the upper surface of the platform. Furthermore, the method can include outputting via the screen at least one user interface for use with the surgical procedure associated with an acetabular component, based at least in part on detecting the array associated with the upper surface of the platform.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for automatic software flow using instrument detection during a computer-aided surgery. At least system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a computer-aided surgical navigational system with a display screen and at least one sensor. The system can include a processor capable of detecting a plurality of arrays, wherein each array is associated with a respective surgical instrument. The processor is further capable of determining a respective surgical procedure associated with the respective surgical instrument, based at least in part on detecting at least one array using the sensor. In addition, the processor is capable of outputting via the screen at least one user interface associated with the respective surgical procedure associated with the respective surgical instrument.
摘要:
Devices and methods for facilitating the transfer of at least a component of a material into a sterile vessel (12). Such devices and methods may utilize a housing (14) at least partially enclosing the sterile vessel to facilitate maintaining the sterility of the vessel before and during the transfer of the at least a component of a material into the sterile vessel.
摘要:
A locking fastener for use with a bone plate. The fastener has threads on its shank to engage bone and threads on its head to engage the internal threads of the bone plate. The threads in the head may have a constant major diameter and a tapered minor diameter that creates a radial interference fit. The threads in the head may also have a variable pitch that creates an axial interference fit. The head may have a low profile to reduce soft tissue irritation.
摘要:
The present invention provides a device for treating fractures of a bone and methods for treating a facture, particularly fractures of the femur, that uses an intramedullary nail or a bone plate and a sliding compression fixation element. Certain features of various fixation elements described herein lessen the rotational forces applied during implantation and/or lessen the amount of bone that needs to be removed during placement of the sliding compression screw.
摘要:
An intramedullary stem (10) that provides enhanced distal fixation and flexibility and methods for implanting the stem. Certain embodiments of the stem have primary and secondary flutes (28, 34) (or ridges or wedges). Other embodiments have transitional regions (60).
摘要:
Devices and processes for use in computer aided or computer navigated surgery include one or more registering and securing mechanisms or, alternatively, one or more adjustable locking structures interposed between an indicium and an item to be used during surgery such as a body part, tool, implant, trial or other structure or component. After the indicia have been registered into the system and surgery, begun, it is sometimes desirable to remove and reattach the indicia for better access to the surgical sight, to avoid contamination of the indicia, or to accommodate other surgical needs. Registering and securing mechanisms according to various embodiments are designed to be easily removable and accurately reattached so that the indicia can be repositioned relative to the item without the need to register the Indicia into the system relative to the item. The registering and securing mechanism preferably include structure that allows the indicia to be repositioned relative the item in only one position and orientation, the position and orientation in which it was registered into the system originally.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods and compositions regarding the preparation of an cell concentrate, such as, for example, an osteogenic cell concentrate, from a physiological solution, such as bone marrow aspirate, blood, or a mixture thereof. In specific embodiments, the invention provides methods and compositions utilizing two physiological solution-processing techniques, particularly in a point of care environment, wherein centrifugation is not employed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and devices for treating femoral fractures, wherein a polyaxial cross member is employed to accommodate a wide range of angles and anteversions/retroversions in the femur, and different securing mechanisms can also be employed to hold and retain such polyaxial cross member in place at the desired orientation.
摘要:
The present application relates to universal liner (12) assemblies (10) for use during hip joint replacement surgeries, kits providing a plurality of universal liners (12), and methods of manufacturing and implanting the universal liners (12). The universal liners (12) allow the surgeon a greater degree of selection of liners (40) and shells (50), without being tied to typical liner/shell connections based on material connection constraints.
