Surgical Systems And Methods For Providing Surgical Guidance With A Head-Mounted Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050156 titled 'Surgical Systems And Methods For Providing Surgical Guidance With A Head-Mounted Device

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a head-mounted device (HMD) that is used in conjunction with a navigation system. The navigation system includes a localizer and a bone tracker that is connected to a physical bone. The localizer tracks the pose of the physical bone in a coordinate system. The HMD is registered to the localizer coordinate system and displays computer-generated imagery (CGI) representing surgical plan data on its display. The CGI includes a virtual model of the physical bone and cut volume data that defines the material to be removed from the bone for receiving an implant. The HMD aligns and combines the CGI with the real-world view of the physical bone.

  • The invention is a head-mounted device (HMD) used with a navigation system for surgical procedures.
  • The navigation system includes a localizer and a bone tracker that monitors the pose of a physical bone.
  • The HMD is registered to the localizer coordinate system and displays computer-generated imagery (CGI) representing surgical plan data.
  • The CGI includes a virtual model of the physical bone and cut volume data for material removal.
  • The HMD aligns and combines the CGI with the real-world view of the physical bone.

Potential Applications:

  • Surgical procedures requiring precise bone tracking and visualization.
  • Orthopedic surgeries involving bone preparation for implant placement.
  • Training and education in surgical techniques.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides accurate tracking and visualization of the physical bone during surgical procedures.
  • Allows surgeons to visualize the surgical plan and make precise cuts for implant placement.
  • Enhances surgical precision and reduces the risk of errors.

Benefits:

  • Improves surgical outcomes by providing real-time visualization of the surgical plan.
  • Enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy.
  • Enhances surgical training and education by providing a realistic virtual representation of the bone and surgical plan.


Original Abstract Submitted

a head-mounted device (hmd) for use with a navigation system. the navigation system includes a localizer and a bone tracker coupled to a physical bone. the localizer monitors the bone tracker to track a pose of the physical bone in a localizer coordinate system. controller(s) obtain surgical plan data related to the physical bone. the surgical plan data includes a virtual model of the physical bone and cut volume data defining material to be removed from the physical bone in preparation for receiving an implant. the controller(s) register the hmd to the localizer coordinate system and provide, on the hmd display, computer-generated imagery representative of the surgical plan data, including the virtual model of the physical bone and the cut volume data. the controller(s) align and combine the computer-generated imagery with a real-world view of the physical bone.
