A seven-degrees of freedom modular robotic device is provided for controlling an instrument, e.g. a bone-drilling or milling device with a precision of about 50 μm and maximum force of 50 N. The robotic device is a serial kinematic chain of six rotational degrees of freedom and one translational degree of freedom.

A system (10) for use in a method of adjusting a distance between a first surgical rod (12) and a second surgical rod (14) wherein the method includes providing a surgical rod connector (16) having a housing (20) with first and second ends (22, 24) and a longitudinal passage (30) extending between the first end and the second end. The method also includes positioning the first surgical rod in the first end and positioning the second surgical rod in the second end. The method further includes mounting an anchor mechanism (18) to the surgical rod connector and applying a force on the anchor mechanism and a corresponding force on one of the first and second surgical rods to distract the first and second surgical rods relative to one another.

A torsional-mode ultrasonic vibration generator is manufactured with longitudinal slots extending along its horn which damp unwanted vibrational modes and allow it to be made significantly smaller than previous apparatus. The torsional-mode ultrasonic generator is operable with a suite of surgical tools, to perform portions of an orthopaedic arthroplasty revision procedure. Three of the tools are for removing bone cement from within a bone cavity on a prosthesis cemented into the bone cavity. Three other tools are for separating an uncemented prosthesis from ingrown bone by cutting the bone between the prosthesis and walls of the bone cavity. The seventh tool is provided with sensors to determine a separation between a bone-cutting tool head and a metal prosthesis, feedback from the sensors being used to control servo motors of an articulated mounting for the seventh tool, to maintain the separation at a desirable value.

A device for treating a bone and a method of inserting such a device into a bone are disclosed. The device comprises segments forming a flexible body having first and second body ends and being configurable in a curved shape, at least one axial opening formed in the segments, flexible members disposed in at least one of the at least one axial opening, each member configured to move relative to at least one of the segments along an axial direction as the flexible body is being manipulated into the curved shape, and a mechanism disposed at one of the first and second body ends and being configurable to prohibit the flexible members from moving relative to one another to lock the flexible body into the curved shape.

An orthopedic bone cutter for cutting bone and tissue is described. The orthopedic bone cutter comprises a cutting shell and a cutting insert that resides within an opening that extends through the apex region of the shell. A pin and slot mechanism positioned within the shell interior provides for independent axial and rotational movement of the insert within the shell. The shell comprises a partially hemispherical structure having a plurality outwardly extending and spaced apart shell cutting teeth. The insert comprises an annular sidewall that meets an end wall having a plurality of outwardly extending and spaced apart insert teeth. With the insert at a retracted position within the shell, the bone cutter is rotated in a first direction to cause the shell cutting teeth to cut, for example, an acetabular roof and labrum. Then, rotation of the shell in a second opposite direction causes the shell to stop cutting, but provides for the insert to extend outwardly to cut the acetabular floor and fossa.

The present disclosure relates to a resection device. The resection device includes an outer tubular member; and an inner tubular member disposed within the outer tubular member, the inner tubular member including a burr having a body with flutes extending along a length of the body, the flutes including parabolic wave patterns located along surface edges of the flutes. In an embodiment, the parabolic wave patterns extend along entire lengths of the flutes. Other resection devices are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for producing a medical instrument, characterized in that said instrument is at least partly produced by way of an additive production method.
摘要:
There is provided methods of arthroplasty on a knee joint comprising obtaining a desired spacing of the femur (6) from the tibia (14) by inserting a spacer (28) into the knee joint between the tibia and the femur. The spacer is used as a reference for securing a guide jig in position about the knee joint for guiding resection of one or both of the femur and the tibia for fitting of tibial and/or femoral prostheses. Apparatus for use in the methods are also described.
摘要:
An instrument system, associated milling or drilling guide and method include use of a trial implant of a size corresponding to an actual implant for the intervertebral space, with a milling guide mounted on the trial implant. The milling guide includes a longitudinal guide chamber which is tapered from a forward end to a rearward end. The system also includes a cutting tool which is received in the guide chamber in order to form a cutout in an adjacent vertebra. This cutting tool includes a bearing member which pivotally engages the rearward end to form a pivot axis for the cutting tool in the tapered guide chamber. Either the milling guide can be inverted to form the cutout in the other vertebra; or the milling guide can be provided with two guide chambers, to be used with one cutting tool moved between them or two respective cutting tools.
