Soft tissue balancing in articular surgery

A robot-aided surgical method comprising:

• receiving, at a processor, an indication that a first surgical step has been completed on a patient by a robotic arm;
• automatically causing the robotic arm to perform an intraoperative orthopedic assessment for the patient;
• displaying, on a user interface of a display device, information related to the intraoperative orthopedic assessment;
• determining whether the intraoperative orthopedic assessment has been completed;
• and
• displaying, on the user interface in response to determining that the intraoperative orthopedic assessment has been completed, information corresponding to a second surgical step based on results of the intraoperative orthopedic assessment.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations to:

• receive an indication that a first surgical step has been completed on a patient by a robotic arm;
• automatically cause the robotic arm to perform an intraoperative orthopedic assessment for the patient;
• output for display, on a user interface of a display device, information related to the intraoperative orthopedic assessment;
• determine whether the intraoperative orthopedic assessment has been completed;
• and
• output for display, on the user interface in response to determining that the intraoperative orthopedic assessment has been completed, information corresponding to a second surgical step based on results of the intraoperative orthopedic assessment.
