Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A surgical guide assembly having an attachment device configured to be coupled to a bone. A cut location indicator is coupled to the attachment device. The cut location indicator identifies a location where the bone is to be cut. An arm is coupled to the attachment device, the cut location indicator, or both. A support structure is coupled to the arm. The support structure is configured to have a trackable feature coupled thereto.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A surgical guide assembly for craniomaxillofacial surgery, comprising: an implant surgical guide assembly, comprising at least one attachment device configured to be coupled to a craniomaxillofacial implant; a trackable feature coupled to the at least one attachment device of the implant surgical guide assembly; and a tracker dynamically tracking the trackable feature of the implant surgical guide assembly in three-dimensional space to provide intraoperative positioning feedback; a recipient surgical guide assembly, comprising at least one attachment device configured to be coupled to a bone of a craniomaxillofacial skeleton of the recipient; a cut location indicator coupled to the at least one attachment device, wherein the cut location indicator is configured to identify a location where the recipient bone is to be cut; a trackable feature coupled to the at least one attachment device; and a tracker dynamically tracking the trackable feature of the recipient surgical guide assembly and the trackable feature of the implant surgical guide assembly to provide intraoperative positioning feedback. 2. The surgical guide assembly according to claim 1 , further including a communication link between the recipient surgical guide assembly and the implant surgical guide assembly. 3. The surgical guide assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the recipient surgical guide assembly includes a computer work-station and the implant surgical guide assembly includes a computer work-station. 4. The surgical guide assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the recipient surgical guide assembly includes a computer work-station. 5. The surgical guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the recipient surgical guide assembly includes a computer work-station and the implant surgical guide assembly includes a computer work-station. 6. The surgical guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the recipient surgical guide assembly and the implant surgical guide assembly provide real-time feedback. 7. The surgical guide assembly according to claim of claim 1 , wherein the trackable feature of the implant surgical guide assembly is a reflective sphere and the trackable feature of the recipient surgical guide assembly is a reflective sphere. 8. The surgical guide assembly according to claim of claim 1 , wherein the craniomaxillofacial implant is a donor implant, a dental implant, or a craniofacial prosthetic. 9. The surgical guide assembly according to claim of claim 1 , wherein the attachment device of the implant surgical guide assembly, the attachment device of the recipient surgical guide assembly, and the cut location indicator are made from a polymer, a resin, an epoxy, or a combination thereof. 10. The surgical guide assembly according to claim of claim 1 , wherein the at least one attachment device of the implant surgical guide assembly includes a plurality of attachment devices and the at least one attachment device of the recipient surgical guide assembly includes a plurality of attachment devices.
