Abstract
A surgical system is provided. The surgical system includes a camera operable to capture images and/or video. A projector is operable to project light, and a controller is communicatively coupled with the camera and the projector. The controller is operable to track movement of bone in real-time during surgery based on the images and/or video captured by the camera, and control the projector to project the light including a cutting line on the bone to indicate a cutting plane for cutting the bone during surgery.
Claims11
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a camera, images and/or video;
- tracking, by a controller, movement of bone in real-time during surgery based on the images and/or video captured by the camera;
- and
- projecting, by a projector, light including a cutting line on the bone to indicate a cutting plane for cutting of the bone during the surgery;
- wherein the light projected by the projector includes one or more alignment lines to correspond with alignment markers on a jig coupled with the bone such that the alignment lines indicate a predetermined position of the jig based on preoperative planning.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a camera, images and/or video;
- coupling a jig with a bone, the jig operable to guide a surgical blade during the cutting of the bone during surgery;
- tracking, by a controller, movement of the bone in real-time during surgery based on the images and/or video captured by the camera;
- and
- projecting, by a projector, light including one or more alignment lines to correspond with alignment markers on the jig such that the alignment lines indicate a predetermined position of the jig based on preoperative planning.
