    摘要: A plurality of three-dimensional fixator graphical representations may include graphical indications of a strut swap range. A plurality of replaced strut graphical representations may change from a first rendering state in a swap start fixator graphical representation to a second rendering state in a swap end fixator graphical representation. A plurality of replacement graphical representations may change from the second rendering state in the swap start fixator graphical representation to the first rendering state in the swap end fixator graphical representation. In some examples, the plurality of replaced strut graphical representations may gradually fade out from a swap start stage to a swap end stage, and the plurality of replacement strut graphical representations may gradually fade in from a swap start stage to a swap end stage. Additionally, a treatment plan including at least one interfamily strut swap may be generated for manipulating a fixator to correct a deformity.

    摘要: A surgical saw blade has an upper surface and a lower surface, and includes a first end having right and left side edges, where the first end is configured to connect to an oscillating head of a powered saw. The saw blade also has a cutting end; and an elongated shank connecting the first end and the cutting end. The first end of the saw blade may be narrower than the shank, and a stopping surface may connect the first end to the elongated shank. The stopping surface is configured to engage the oscillating head of the powered saw, so as to ensure correct positioning of the saw blade relative to the oscillating head. The elongated shank of the saw blade may have an elongated hole through the shank, where the size and shape of the elongated hole are configured to optimize a resonant frequency and/or a dynamic stiffness of the saw blade. The cutting end of the saw blade may have a plurality of first teeth thereon, where each first tooth is mounted on a distal end of a tine. Each pair of adjacent tines is separated by a longitudinal slot, with a distal end of each longitudinal slot being bridged by a web connecting a corresponding pair of adjacent tines.

    摘要: First and second images are displayed of anatomical structure segments with an attached fixator. Indications may be received of first image hinge locations of a plurality of hinges of the fixator in the first image. Projected second image hinge locations may be determined based at least in part on the first image hinge locations. Hinge candidates may be detected in the second image having shapes associated with the plurality of hinges. The hinges candidates may be detected by computer software using automated software-based image analysis techniques. Adjusted second image hinge locations may then be calculated based at least in part on the projected second image hinge locations and candidate second image hinge locations. The adjusted second image hinge locations may be used to determine physical locations of the fixator and anatomical structure segments in three-dimensional space, which may be used to determine manipulations to the fixator for deformity correction.
