INTRAOPERATIVE SENSOR SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR JOINT ARTHROPLASTY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009004 titled 'INTRAOPERATIVE SENSOR SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR JOINT ARTHROPLASTY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an intraoperative surgical system for knee arthroplasty. The system includes a sensor support body with a platform, a force sensor positioned on the platform, and a detachable sensor cover that sandwiches the force sensor between the platform and the cover. Together, these components form a joint insertion block that can be inserted into a tibiofemoral joint to measure the force between the tibia and femur.

  • The system is designed for knee arthroplasty procedures.
  • It includes a sensor support body with a platform.
  • A force sensor is positioned on the platform.
  • A detachable sensor cover is placed over the platform, sandwiching the force sensor.
  • The platform, force sensor, and sensor cover collectively form a joint insertion block.
  • The joint insertion block is inserted into a tibiofemoral joint to measure the force between the tibia and femur.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Knee arthroplasty surgeries
  • Orthopedic procedures involving the tibiofemoral joint

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate measurement of the force between the tibia and femur during knee arthroplasty
  • Provides real-time feedback to surgeons during the procedure

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved surgical precision and accuracy
  • Enhanced patient outcomes
  • Reduced risk of complications during knee arthroplasty surgeries


Original Abstract Submitted

an intraoperative surgical system can be used for knee arthroplasty. the system may include a sensor support body defining a platform, a force sensor positioned on the platform, and a sensor cover positioned over the platform of the sensor support body thereby sandwiching the force sensor between the platform and the sensor cover. the sensor cover can be detachably coupled to the sensor support body. the platform, the force sensor, and the sensor cover can collectively define a joint insertion block configured to be inserted into a tibiofemoral joint for measuring a force between a tibia and a femur defining the tibiofemoral joint.
