Title:
ACTIVE ROBOTIC PIN PLACEMENT IN TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023175893
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide systems and methods for creating planar cuts on a bone.SOLUTION: Systems and methods are provided utilizing one or more cutting guides incorporated into a plurality of bone pins, where the bone pins are inserted on a bone coincident with one or more virtual pin planes defined relative to one or more of the planar cuts. Alignment guides are also disclosed herein that aid in creation of pilot holes for receiving a cutting block in a desired position and orientation (POSE). An articulating surgical device actively positions the bone pins coincident with the virtual plane to ensure the cutting guides, when incorporated into the pins, aligns one or more guide slots in the desired POSE to create the planar cuts.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
