Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The description relates to surgical computer systems, including computer program products, and methods for implant planning using captured joint motion information. Data is captured representative of a range of motion of a joint associated with a particular individual, where the joint includes a first bone and a second bone. The first bone of the joint is represented and a first implant model is associated with the representation of the first bone. Based on the captured data, a relationship is determined between the first implant model and a representation of the second bone through at least a portion of the range of motion of the joint. Information is displayed representative of the determined relationship.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A surgical planning method comprising: capturing data, using a tracking system associated with a computing system as a native joint is moved within, a range of motion of a joint the joint comprising a first bone and a second bone; wherein the computing system is further used to perform the steps of: representing the first bone of the joint; associating a first implant model with the representation of the first bone; representing a second bone of the…
