Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to orthopaedic surgical tools used to cut and/or resect a bone of a patient during an orthopaedic surgical procedure such as, for example, a joint replacement procedure.
Claims10
An orthopaedic surgery system comprising:
- an orthopaedic surgical tool configured to resect a bone of a patient;
- and
- a computer system communicatively coupled to the orthopaedic surgical tool, the computer system configured to:
- determine a final cutting surface within a coordinate system, the final cutting surface corresponding to a planned resection of the bone;
- monitor movement of the orthopaedic surgical tool in the coordinate system;
- predict a cutting path of the orthopaedic surgical tool in the coordinate system using the monitored movement;
- determine that the predicted cutting path of the orthopaedic surgical tool will deviate from the final cutting surface;
- and
- cause a reduction in the cutting effectiveness of the orthopaedic surgical tool in response to determining that the predicted cutting path of the orthopaedic surgical tool will deviate from the final cutting surface.
