    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor and a non-transitory memory. The processor is configured to receive pre-operative patient specific data. The pre-operative patient specific data is inputted to a first machine learning model to determine a first predicted post-operative joint performance data output including first predicted post-operative outcome metrics. A reconstruction plan of the joint of the patient is generated based on a medical image of the joint, and at least one arthroplasty surgical parameter obtained from the user. The at least one arthroplasty surgical parameter is inputted into a second machine learning model to determine a second predicted post-operative joint performance data output including second predicted post-operative outcome metrics. The second predicted post-operative joint performance data output is updated to include an arthroplasty surgery recommendation, in response to the user varying the at least one arthroplasty surgical parameter, before the arthroplasty surgery, during the arthroplasty surgery, or both.

    Abstract: A device including a first plate configured to interface with a first bone structure of a joint; a second plate configured to interface with a second bone structure of the joint opposite the first bone structure; and at least one mechanical actuation mechanism disposed between the first plate and the second plate and configured to apply a distraction force along an axis between the first plate and the second plate so as to urge the first plate and the second plate away from one another, wherein the device is configured so as to have a range of motion ranging from a minimum distance between the first plate and the second plate to a maximum distance between the first plate and the second plate, and wherein the mechanical actuation mechanism is configured such that the distraction force is substantially constant distraction force across the range of motion.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method including positioning at least one sensor within a joint of a patient; receiving, by a processor, a first data set representing a first series of reaction forces within the joint while the joint is moved through a range of motion; receiving, by the processor, a second data set representing a second series of reaction forces within the joint while the joint is moved through the range of motion while a first trial implant is attached within the joint; calculating, by the processor, a difference between the second data set and the first data set; and providing, by the processor, an instruction based on the difference, the instruction including either an instruction to select a second trial implant if the difference exceeds a threshold, or an instruction to proceed with an actual implant matching the first trial implant if the difference does not exceed the threshold.

    Abstract: A kit includes a distractor, a plurality of trial elements, and at least one sensor. The distractor is configured to separate a first bone from a second bone by adjusting the distance between a first member and a second member, and is configured to receive at least one sensor in the first portion. Each of the trial elements corresponds to one of a plurality of surgical implants, is configured to be temporarily coupled to the second bone so as to evaluate suitability of the corresponding one of the plurality of surgical implants for implantation, and is configured to receive at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is configured to be received in the distractor or one of the trial elements, and is configured to record a magnitude of a force, a direction of application of a force, a pressure mapping, or a location of application of a force.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present invention provides a reverse shoulder glenoid prosthesis which supports the attachment of multiple different types of modular attachments that can: 1) provide additional scapular fixation (ie external to the glenoid) in order to improve glenoid implant fixation in cases of severe bone loss/fracture, 2) provide joint line lateralization to improve tissue stability in cases of severe glenoid/scapula bone loss, 3) facilitate use and containment of glenoid bone graft in cases of severe glenoid/scapula bone loss—particularly in those cases in which the glenoid defect is uncontained/peripheral 4) achieve glenoid fixation while at the same time reconstructing the scapular bone in cases of scapula fractures, glenoid fractures, and/or acromial fractures, and 5) provide improved rTSA joint biomechanics, particularly posterior rotator cuff efficiency by changing the line of action of the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles to improve their muscle tension, and also increase each muscle's external rotation and abduction moment arm lengths.
