Robotic joint revision system and method
Abstract:
Systems and methods for prosthetic implant revision surgery may include a robot having a robotic arm for attaching multiple surgical tools. The robot may generate a surgical plan for attaching the surgical tools to the robotic arm (e.g., a large diameter wheel, an in-line cutting tip, a posterior curved cradle, a reciprocal saw, a long burr, a trephine reamer, an osteotome, a keel remover, etc.) and performing the steps to remove an anterior flange/cap of a prosthetic knee and debond cement from bone within the intramedullary canal of a tibia or femur. The robot may include cameras and/or tracking devices for mapping/generating a three-dimensional model of an operating space and the implant, and determine precise planes and angles for approaching the implant with the surgical tools. Accordingly, the systems and methods may perform revision surgery with less bone loss than previous techniques and may result in more reproducible outcomes.
