Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of performing a minimally invasive procedure on a hip joint of a patient to relieve a femoral acetabular impingement. An access device is placed through skin of the patient to provide minimally invasive access to a target volume of material that creates the femoral acetabular impingement. A cutting accessory is placed into the access device to remove material and relieve the femoral acetabular impingement. A tracking and control system establishes a virtual boundary that defines the target volume of material that creates the femoral acetabular impingement, tracks a position of the cutting accessory relative to the virtual boundary, and controls movement of the cutting accessory so that cutting is substantially maintained within the virtual boundary.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of performing a minimally invasive procedure on a hip joint of a patient to relieve a femoral acetabular impingement using an instrument having a hand-held portion, a cutting accessory defining a rotational axis, a drive motor for rotating the cutting accessory, and a separate motor for moving the cutting accessory longitudinally relative to the hand-held portion, said method comprising the steps of: placing an access device through skin of the pati…
