Application: Surgical system with automated implant planning (Patent ID: US20240081913A1)
The patent filed by Stryker Corp describes a surgical system that includes a tracking system to track bone positions in a joint, a user interface for inputting post-operative values, and a computer to generate a planned orientation for an implant based on bone positions and post-operative values. The system also generates a surgical plan based on the planned orientation. The system can further involve a robot to execute bone resection based on the surgical plan, preparing the bone for implantation.
The method outlined in the patent involves tracking bone positions in a joint, generating a planned orientation for an implant based on bone positions and user input post-operative values, and guiding bone resection based on the planned orientation. The method can include executing an auto-planning algorithm, handling tradeoffs between different post-operative values, and minimizing error values associated with these values. The method also includes determining target locations for implant models and utilizing a graphical user interface for user interaction.
