Abstract:
Glenoid implants, used in shoulder reconstruction or replacement surgery include a main body having an articulation surface configured to interface with the humeral head and having an anchoring surface opposite the articulation surface; and a fixation structure extending away from the anchoring surface comprising an osteogenous material portion. The fixation structures can include polymeric material, porous metallic material, porous polymer material and/or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method comprises: obtaining, by a computing system, anatomic data for a patient and comorbidity data for the patient; generating, by the computing system, based on the anatomic data for the patient and the comorbidity data tor the patient, a recommendation regarding whether the patient should undergo a surgery as an inpatient procedure or an outpatient procedure: and outputting, by the computing system, the recommendation.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and techniques are described for determining surgical guidance for a joint replacement implantation based on dynamic joint analysis. Techniques include receiving patient specific data indicative of pre-operative motion associated with an ankle (300) of a patient and determining, based on the patient specific data, a current kinematic axis (302) of the motion associated with the ankle. Techniques also include determining a target kinematic axis (304) of motion for the ankle, the target kinematic axis being different than the current kinematic axis, and generating a transform function between the current kinematic axis and the target kinematic axis. Additionally, techniques include generating, based on the transform function, a recommended surgical intervention that adjusts tissue associated with the ankle to achieve the target kinematic axis of motion.
Abstract:
A computing system may generate an initial segmentation mask by applying a neural network to a 3D image of a set of objects. The initial segmentation mask associates voxels of the 3D image with individual objects of the set of objects. Additionally, the computing system generates a refined segmentation mask. As part of generating the refined segmentation mask, the computing system performs, for each respective object, a front propagation process for the respective object. The front propagation process for the respective object uses input voxel data to relabel, in the refined segmentation mask, voxels of the 3D image as being associated with the respective object. A stopping condition of a path evaluated by the front propagation process for the respective object occurs when the front propagation process evaluates a voxel identified in the initial segmentation mask as being associated with a different one of the objects from the respective object.
Abstract:
A surgical planning system for use in surgical procedures to repair an anatomy of interest includes a preplanning system to generate a virtual surgical plan and a mixed reality system that includes a visualization device wearable by a user to view the virtual surgical plan projected in a real environment. The virtual surgical plan includes a 3D virtual model of the anatomy of interest. When wearing the visualization device, the user can align the 3D virtual model with the real anatomy of interest, thereby achieving a registration between details of the virtual surgical plan and the real anatomy of interest. The registration enables a surgeon to implement the virtual surgical plan on the real anatomy of interest without the use of tracking markers.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for guiding a joint replacement surgery. In some examples, a system includes a visualization device comprising one or more sensors; and processing circuitry configured to determine, based on data generated by the one or more sensors, one or more size parameters of a bone resection surface viewable via the visualization device; select, based on the one or more size parameters of the bone resection surface and from a plurality of implants, an implant; and output for display, via the visualization device, a graphical representation of the selected implant relative to the bone resection surface.
Abstract:
Cements containing certain small molecule amino acid phosphate compounds such as phosphoserine and certain multivalent metal compounds such as but not limited to calcium phosphate have been found to have improved properties and form a macromolecular network in the presence of a bioactive glass material that contain silicates, phosphates, and calcium salts which can be involved in the formation of bonding sites.
Abstract:
A ratcheting inserter device (24) for tensioning a knotless suture anchor (22) includes an outer inserter shaft (26) and an inner inserter shaft (40) having a common longitudinal axis. A ratcheting mechanism (54) provided between the inner inserter shaft and the outer inserter permits rotation of the inner inserter shaft in one direction relative to the outer inserter shaft. The outer inserter shaft has a protrusion (50) at a distal end (28) that is received by an anchor outer sleeve (80) of a suture anchor to prevent relative rotation thereof, and the inner inserter shaft has a projection (48) at the distal end that is received by an inner core (110) of the anchor for rotational movement therewith. The ratcheting inserter device rotates the inner core of the suture anchor to spool and tension suture thread. Thereafter, the ratcheting mechanism is disengaged and the inner inserter shaft is forced axially into the anchor outer sleeve.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for shaping bone voids during revision procedures of total knee replacements. The systems disclosed herein generally include a cannulated reamer assembly (600), a reaming guide assembly (100), a guide tube assembly (200), a trial stem assembly (400), and an optional insertion/removal tool (500). Metaphyseal reconstruction devices (800, 900) can be used to fill the bone voids in conjunction with the systems and methods disclosed herein.
Abstract:
A base component (24) for a tibial implant has a lateral compartment (40) and a medial compartment (42) spaced from the lateral compartment defining an open central section (52) therebetween. A connecting portion (44) connects the medial and lateral compartments at an anterior end (26) of the base component (24) which anterior end is located adjacent the anterior tibia. The open central section (52) of the base component intermediate the spaced medial and lateral compartments (40, 42) is open to a posterior end of the base component. The medial and lateral compartments have a bone contacting surface (20) and a superiorly facing surface. The connecting portion has a curved anteriorly facing surface (26) and has a first angled surface (28) extending at an angle from adjacent the anterior end (26) of the base component at a bone contacting surface (20) of the connecting portion superiorly to a posterior end of the connecting portion. The first angled surface (25) defining an anterior end of the open central section.
