    Abstract: A drug-eluting spacer for temporary implantation in a knee joint includes a femoral component configured to interface with a femur, a tibial tray component having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a shaft extending from the lower surface, the shaft configured to be positioned axially within a tibia, the lower surface configured to interface with the tibia, and a tibial insert component having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the tibial insert component configured to engage the upper surface of the tibial tray component, the upper surface of the tibial insert component configured to receive the femoral component in an articulating manner. The femoral component, the tibial tray component, and the tibial insert component carry joint loads when implanted. The drug-eluting spacer is configured to elute a biologically active agent in an amount effective to treat an infection of the knee joint.

    Abstract: A system includes a patella trial comprising a baseplate and an articular surface member configured to move along at least one of a medial-lateral axis or a superior-inferior axis of the baseplate; and an implant comprising a posterior articular surface and an anterior surface, wherein the anterior surface has a medial/lateral width with a midpoint, wherein the posterior articular surface has a posterior-most point, wherein an imaginary line extending through the posterior-most point is parallel to an imaginary line extending through the midpoint, and wherein a distance (I) is defined by measuring a length between the imaginary line extending through the posterior-most point and the imaginary line extending through the midpoint; wherein the implant is selected from a set of implants each having a different I, and wherein the chosen implant is selected based on an offset of the articular surface member relative to the baseplate on the patella trial.

    Abstract: A system and method may be used to evaluate soft tissue. A hip joint evaluation may use an adjustable spacer, such as varying sized physical spacers or an inflatable bladder, along with a sensor to measure force, pressure, gap distance, or the like, for example during a range of motion test. A method may include using a maximum pressure during the range of motion test to determine a maximum pressure during the range of motion test. The maximum pressure may be output for display on a user interface.

    Abstract: A surgery-facilitating system and method include a controller, a first tracker positioned on a first member of a joint, and a second tracker positioned on a second member of the joint. A first anatomical entity of the first member and a second anatomical entity of the second member are tracked using the first and second trackers to generate in the coordinate system, pre-operative kinematic data of the joint during a first movement of the joint, intra-operative kinematic data of the joint during a second movement of the joint, and post-operative kinematic data of the joint during a third movement of the joint. A surgical plan is generated for the surgical procedure of the subject based at least in part on the pre-operative kinematic data, the intra-operative kinematic data, or both, of the joint in the coordinate system.
