Robot surgical platform

A method by a surgical implant planning computer, the method comprising:

• performing a registration setup mode comprising determining occurrence of a first condition indicating that a marker tracking camera can track markers that are on a fluoroscopy registration fixture of the fluoroscopy imager, and determining occurrence of a second condition indicating that the marker tracking camera can track dynamic reference base markers attached to a robot arm of a robot and/or an end-effector connected to the robot arm;
• while both of the first and second conditions are determined to continue to occur, receiving and storing in a memory a first intra-operative fluoroscopic image of a patient along a first plane and to obtain a second intra-operative fluoroscopic image of the patient along a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane;
• displaying the stored first and second intra-operative fluoroscopic images on a display device;
• receiving a user's selection of a surgical implant from a set of defined surgical implants;
• and
• displaying a graphical implant representing the selected surgical implant as an overlay on both of the displayed first and second intra-operative fluoroscopic images.

A computer program product for a surgical implant planning computer, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code that is executable by at least one processor of the surgical implant planning computer to perform operations comprising:
• performing a registration setup mode comprising determining occurrence of a first condition indicating that a marker tracking camera can track reflective markers that are on a fluoroscopy registration fixture of the fluoroscopy imager, and determining occurrence of a second condition indicating that the marker tracking camera can observe to track dynamic reference base markers attached to a robot arm or an end-effector attached to the robot arm;
• while both of the first and second conditions are determined to continue to occur, allowing operations to be performed to obtain a first intra-operative fluoroscopic image of a patient along a first plane and to obtain a second intra-operative fluoroscopic image of the patient along a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane;
• displaying the first and second intra-operative fluoroscopic images on a display device;
• receiving a user's selection of a surgical implant from a set of defined surgical implants;
• displaying a graphical implant representing the selected surgical implant as an overlay on both of the displayed first and second intra-operative fluoroscopic images;
• determining a trajectory along an axis of the graphical implant;
• and
• displaying a trajectory line that extends from adjacent to a first end of the graphical implant and along the trajectory to facilitate a user visually orienting and positioning the graphical implant relative to a desired insertion location on the bone.
