Abstract
Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving intra-operative data during a surgical procedure to install a patient-specific implant in a patient. The system can compare the intra-operative data to a pre-operative plan to determine whether the implant is positioned and located according to the pre-operative plan.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- obtaining at least one image of an implant located in a patient;
- obtaining a virtual anatomical model of the patient;
- performing an anatomical alignment routine by
- synchronizing virtual anatomical features of the virtual anatomical model with corresponding anatomical features in the at least one image,
- comparing a position of the implant in the at least one image to a planned position of a virtual implant of the virtual anatomical model, wherein the comparison is based on the synchronized virtual anatomical features and the corresponding anatomical features, and
- causing display, via a user interface, of a first annotation for positioning the implant at the planned position based on the comparison;
- and
- repeating the anatomical alignment routine to determine the implant is positioned at an acceptable location in the patient based on the comparison, wherein the acceptable location is identified by a second annotation within the user interface and is within a maximum acceptable distance from a target location for the implant, wherein the first annotation is different from the second annotation.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a process comprising:
- obtaining at least one image of an implant located in a patient;
- obtaining a virtual anatomical model of the patient;
- performing an anatomical alignment routine by
- synchronizing virtual anatomical features of the virtual anatomical model with corresponding anatomical features in the at least one image,
- comparing a position of the implant in the at least one image to a planned position of a virtual implant of the virtual anatomical model, wherein the comparison is based on the synchronized virtual anatomical features and the corresponding anatomical features, and
- causing display, via a user interface, of a first annotation for positioning the implant at the planned position based on the comparison;
- and
- repeating the anatomical alignment routine to determine the implant is positioned at an acceptable location in the patient based on the comparison, wherein the acceptable location is identified by a second annotation within the user interface and is within a maximum acceptable distance from a target location for the implant, wherein the first annotation is different from the second annotation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining at least one image of an implant located in a patient;
- obtaining a virtual anatomical model of the patient;
- performing an anatomical alignment routine by
- synchronizing virtual anatomical features of the virtual anatomical model with corresponding anatomical features in the at least one image,
- comparing a position of the implant in the at least one image to a planned position of a virtual implant of the virtual anatomical model, wherein the comparison is based on the synchronized virtual anatomical features and the corresponding anatomical features, and
- causing display, via a user interface, of a first annotation for positioning the implant at the planned position based on the comparison;
- and
- repeating the anatomical alignment routine to determine the implant is positioned at an acceptable location in the patient based on the comparison, wherein the acceptable location is identified by a second annotation within the user interface and is within a maximum acceptable distance from a target location for the implant, wherein the first annotation is different from the second annotation.
