Abstract
A method of controlling a surgical system includes obtaining a surgical plan including a plurality of planned cuts associated with a plurality of bones of a patient, selecting a first bone of the plurality of bones by tracking a probe and automatically determining which of the plurality of bones is contacted by the probe, automatically selecting a first planned cut using stored associations between the plurality of planned cuts and the plurality of bones of the patient, and guiding execution of the first planned cut.
Claims20
A method of controlling a surgical system, comprising:
- obtaining a surgical plan comprising a plurality of planned cuts associated with a plurality of bones of a patient;
- selecting a first bone of the plurality of bones by tracking a probe and automatically determining which of the plurality of bones is contacted by the probe;
- in response to selecting the first bone, automatically selecting a first planned cut using stored associations between the plurality of planned cuts and the plurality of bones of the patient;
- and
- in response to automatically selecting the first planned cut, guiding execution of the first planned cut.
A surgical system, comprising:
- a surgical device;
- a probe;
- a tracking system configured to collect tracking data indicating positions of the probe;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- select a first bone of a plurality of bones of a patient using, from the tracking data, a first position of the probe when the probe contacts the first bone;
- in response to selecting the first bone, automatically select a first planned cut using stored associations between a plurality of planned cuts and the plurality of bones of the patient;
- and
- in response to automatically selecting the first planned cut, guide execution of the first planned cut using the surgical device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a surgical plan comprising a plurality of planned cuts associated with a plurality of bones of a patient;
- selecting a first bone of the plurality of bones by automatically determining which of the plurality of bones is contacted by a tracked probe;
- in response to selecting the first bone, automatically selecting a first planned cut using stored associations between the plurality of planned cuts and the plurality of bones of the patient;
- and
- in response to automatically selecting the first planned cut, guiding execution of the first planned cut.
