Abstract
A method includes obtaining a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant and a second planned position of an augment relative to a bone. The augment is planned to provide support between the bone and the implant. The method also includes preparing the bone to receive both the implant in the first planned position and the augment in the second planned position by controlling a robotic device based on the first planned position of the implant and the second planned position of the augment.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant and a second planned position of an augment relative to a bone, wherein the augment is planned to provide support between the bone and the implant;
- preparing the bone to receive both the implant in the first planned position and the augment in the second planned position by controlling a robotic device based on the first planned position of the implant and the second planned position of the augment;
- determining whether the augment is in the second planned position by tracking a probe as the probe is touched to the augment;
- and
- fixing the augment to the bone in response to determining that the augment is in the second planned position.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant and a second planned position of an augment relative to a bone, wherein the augment is positionable independent of the implant and is planned to provide support between the bone and the implant, wherein obtaining the surgical plan comprises allowing adjustment of the second planned position relative to the first planned position;
- and
- assisting preparation of the bone to receive both the implant in the first planned position and the augment in the second planned position by controlling a robotic device based on the first planned position of the implant and the second planned position of the augment.
A system comprising:
- a robotic device;
- and
- circuitry programmed to:
- obtain a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant and a second planned position of an augment relative to a bone, wherein the augment is planned to at least partially fill a space between the bone and the implant, and wherein the second planned position is adjustable relative to the first planned position;
- and
- assist preparation of the bone to receive both the implant in the first planned position and the augment in the second planned position by controlling the robotic device based on the first planned position of the implant and the second planned position of the augment.
