Abstract
A traction system for automatically tracking and displaying parameters of a joint during surgery. The traction system includes a traction device and a computing device. The traction device has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end has a platform with a perineal post extending therefrom and the distal end has one or more footrests extended therefrom. One or more sensors are connected to the traction device. The one or more sensors generate sensor data based on movement of the traction device. A computing device is connected to the one or more sensors and is configured to receive the sensor data and process the sensor data into a metric. A display connected to the computing device is configured to display the metric.
Claims10
A traction system, comprising:
- a traction device having a moveable component with one or more sensors directly attached thereto;
- wherein the sensors generate sensor data based on movement of the moveable component;
- a computing device connected to the one or more sensors and configured to receive the sensor data and process the sensor data into a first metric, wherein the first metric is an angle of a patient's anatomy;
- a camera connected to the computing device and configured to be positioned toward the traction device, wherein the camera generates camera data which is processed via the computing device into a traction time metric;
- and
- a display connected to the computing device configured to display the first metric and the traction time metric, wherein the computing device is programmed such that each of the first metric and the traction time metric has a threshold, and the display is configured to indicate if the respective threshold is exceeded.
