    Abstract: A method for optimizing orthopedic spinal implant survival using preoperative finite element analysis combined with intraoperative stress analysis. Based on clinically relevant data, finite element analysis, and corrected values of spinal parameters, an acceptable long-term stress score is determined for an appropriate implant, which is selected from a set of potential implants, such that the shape of the implant minimizes predicted stress values. From a preoperative medical image set, values of selected spinal alignment parameters are determined; finite element analysis is performed on potential implants to determine stress values; and a selected implant is digitally positioned in the medical image set to create a virtual bone/implant configuration. After the selected implant is inserted and bent to shape, actual stress values are measured intraoperatively. The process of bending and measuring stress values is repeated until the bone/implant configuration falls within the acceptable long-term stress score range.

    Abstract: Robotic systems and methods for performing orthopaedic surgery using high power ultrasonic cutting tools, and having a higher degree of safety than prior art systems. Separate levels of safety are used to prevent damage to surrounding soft tissues such as nerves, organs or arteries. Firstly, the tool blade and its ultrasound operating mode are such that the effect on soft tissue is substantially less than on bone tissue. Furthermore, robotic guidance using preoperative images reduces the possibility of damage to soft tissue. Additionally, sensors are used to determine when the tool completes operation in bone, and reaches soft tissue, the sensors being either acoustic or based on the power drawn by the tool. Other implementations use the reflection from the bone regions of the ultrasound energy used to perform the procedure, to generate an image, providing direct viewing of the procedure without the need for preoperative image guidance.

    Abstract: A minimally invasive system using a surgical robot as a three-dimensional printer for fabrication of biological tissues inside the body of a subject. A preoperative plan is used to direct and control both the motion of the robot and the robotic bio-ink extrusion. The robotic motion is coordinated with the ink extrusion to form layers having the desired thickness and dimensions, and use of different types of ink enables composite elements to be laid down. Such systems have a small diameter bio-ink ejecting mechanism, generally in the form of a piston driven cannula, enabling access to regions such as joints, with limited space. The robotic control is programmed such that angular motion takes place around a pivot point at the point of insertion into the subject. The bio-inks can be stored in predetermined layers in the cannula to enable sequential dispensing from one cannula.

    Abstract: A method for planning the insertion of bone cement into an orthopedic void of a vertebra. A three dimensional preoperative image of the vertebra is used and the voxels are analyzed to provide the voxel absorption levels. The absorption levels are transformed into mechanical properties of regions of the vertebra, such that a three dimensional mesh of the mechanical properties of the vertebra is generated. An entry point and an entry angle are selected on the vertebra, through which to inject bone cement into the void. Then, using the known viscosity of the bone cement, and using the entry point and entry angle, a finite elements analysis may be performed on the mesh to simulate the propagation of the bone cement into the orthopedic void. The simulation is repeated using different operational parameters until said propagation of said bone cement is deemed satisfactory.
