International Classification:

G06G007/48

US Classification:

703011000

Abstract:

A computer-assisted external fixation apparatus and method comprises an external fixation application for assisting, guiding, and planning an external fixation procedure. The external fixation application cooperates with a tracking system to acquire kinematic data corresponding to a selected joint during manipulation of the selected joint and/or acquire image data of patient anatomy and determine a kinematic parameter for the selected joint using the kinematic and/or image data, such as an axis of rotation or plane of movement. The external fixation application may then be used with the tracking system to provide real-time alignment information for alignment of an external fixator based on the information associated with the determined kinematic parameter.

International Classification:

G06K009/46

US Classification:

382195000

Abstract:

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the head and neck of the femur with an artificial component having a ball-shaped head and neck similar to that of a replaced femoral head and neck and inserting a cup-shaped component into the acetabulum to act as a liner to receive the ball of the femoral component. During this procedure, a surgeon encounters or has to overcome several problems. These problems include establishing the correct inclination, version and medialization for the acetabular component of the artificial hip; the correct version or angle of the femoral component; and maintaining correct leg length.

International Classification:

A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600424000

Abstract:

A surgical apparatus includes a surgical device, configured to be manipulated by a user to perform a procedure on a patient, and a computer system. The computer system is programmed to implement control parameters for controlling the surgical device to provide at least one of haptic guidance to the user and a limit on user manipulation of the surgical device, based on a relationship between an anatomy of the patient and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the surgical device, and to adjust the control parameters in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.
