Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for performing a surgical step or surgical procedure with visual guidance using an optical head mounted display. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving a virtual implant on a physical anatomic structure of a patient and, optionally, modifying or changing the displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving, for example based on kinematic information.
Claims1
A system for preparing a physical joint in a patient comprising:
- at least one computer configured to generate a first virtual implant component, a second virtual implant component or a combination thereof;
- and
- a see through optical head mounted display configured to display the first virtual implant component, the second virtual implant component or a combination thereof,
- wherein the first virtual implant component is a three-dimensional digital representation corresponding to at least one portion of a first physical implant component, a placement indicator of a first physical implant component, or a combination thereof,
- wherein the second virtual implant component is a three-dimensional digital representation corresponding to at least one portion of a second physical implant component, a placement indicator of a second physical implant component, or a combination thereof,
- wherein the at least one computer is configured to allow superimposition and alignment of at least a portion of the first virtual implant component onto at least a portion of a first articular surface of the physical joint of the patient visible directly through the see through optical head mounted display,
- wherein the at least one computer is configured to allow superimposition and alignment of at least a portion of the second virtual implant component onto at least a portion of a second articular surface of the physical joint of the patient visible directly through the see through optical head mounted display,
- wherein the at least one computer is configured to maintain the display of the at least a portion of the first virtual implant component onto the at least a portion of the first articular surface when the physical joint of the patient moves,
- wherein the at least one computer is configured to maintain the display of the at least a portion of the second virtual implant component onto the at least a portion of the second articular surface when the physical joint of the patient moves, and
- wherein the at least one computer is configured to display at least a normal motion, an abnormal motion, a pathologic motion, or an instability of the first virtual implant component, the second virtual implant component or a combination thereof or a motion conflict between the first virtual implant component and the second virtual implant component when the physical joint of the patient moves.
