Disclosed are computer visual guidance systems for guiding surgeons through arthroscopic debridement of bony pathologies, including by automatically generating annotations relating to characteristics of bony pathology in an image. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a determination as to whether a femoral head of the bony pathology is endospherical or exospherical. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a mathematical model created based on anatomies of subjects other than the patient. Further disclosed is a user interfaces for guiding a surgeon through arthroscopic debridement of a bony pathology, wherein intraoperative images are displayed simultaneously with a preoperative plan comprising interactive three-dimensional models of an anatomical feature of a patient. Further disclosed is a user interface for guiding a physician in categorizing images of a patient, wherein the interface comprises an image viewing window and an interactive checklist for different image categories to be captured.

Systems and methods for treating a joint

Presented herein are systems and methods for performing three-dimensional measurements of a surgical space using two-dimensional endoscopic images. According to an aspect, video data taken from an endoscopic imaging device can be used to generate a three-dimensional model of the surgical space represented by the video data. In one or more examples, two-dimensional images from the video data can be used to generate a three-dimensional model of the surgical space. In one or more examples, the one or more two-dimensional images of the surgical space can include a fiducial marker as part of the image. Using both the depth information and a size reference provided by the fiducial marker, the systems and methods herein can generate a three-dimensional model of the surgical space. The generated three-dimensional model can then be used to perform a variety of three-dimensional measurements in a surgical cavity in an accurate and efficient manner.

Systems and methods for generating three-dimensional measurements using endoscopic video data

The present disclosure is directed to arthroscopic visualization systems and methods. The visualization system can include a camera with a fluid inflow path, wherein a proximal end of the camera is configured to fluidly connect a fluid reservoir to the fluid inflow path. The system can also include a cannula with a lumen, wherein the lumen is configured to be fluidly connected to the fluid inflow path at a distal end of the camera. In addition, the system can also include a scope, wherein the scope is configured to be connected to the distal end of the camera and a portion of the scope is configured to be inserted into the lumen of the cannula.

Systems and methods for arthroscopic visualization

A method for automatically generating and applying annotations to one or more images captured during a surgical procedure using an imaging tool are provided. In one or more examples, the annotations can be generated by applying one or more machine learning classifiers to the images to determine the presence of various features contained within the images. Optionally, the machine learning classifiers can be configured to determine the anatomy displayed in a particular image as well as the procedure step shown in a given image. Using these two determinations, the systems and methods described herein can generate one or more annotations that are then overlaid on or laid next to an image so as to provide the patient or other person viewing the image with context as to what the image is showing.

Systems and methods for classifying and annotating images taken during a medical procedure

A computer visual guidance system for guiding a surgeon through an arthroscopic debridement of a bony pathology, wherein the computer visual guidance system is configured to: (i) receive a 2D image of the bony pathology from a source; (ii) automatically analyze the 2D image so as to determine at least one measurement with respect to the bony pathology; (iii) automatically annotate the 2D image with at least one annotation relating to the at least one measurement determined with respect to the bony pathology so as to create an annotated 2D image; and (iv) display the annotated 2D image to the surgeon so as to guide the surgeon through the arthroscopic debridement of the bony pathology.

Method and apparatus for treating a joint, including the treatment of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement in a hip joint and pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement in a hip joint

The present disclosure is directed to table mount for mounting a touchscreen device to a surgical table. The table mount includes a clamp configured to releasably secure the table mount to the table, an arm assembly, and a touchscreen device docking assembly connected to the arm assembly.

Table mount for a touchscreen device

A method for modeling a joint before, during, and/or after a medical procedure includes receiving first imaging data capturing the joint from a first imaging perspective and second imaging data capturing the joint from a second imaging perspective that is different than the first imaging perspective, the first and second imaging data generated intraoperatively via a two-dimensional imaging modality, generating three-dimensional image data by back-projecting the first and second imaging data in three-dimensional space in accordance with a relative difference between the first and second imaging perspectives, generating a three-dimensional model of the joint based on processing the three-dimensional image data with a machine learning model trained on imaging data generated via at least a three-dimensional imaging modality, and displaying a visualization based on the three-dimensional model of the joint during the medical procedure.

Surgical tool systems and methods of use thereof for performing endoscopic surgical procedures, which systems include a handpiece and a surgical accessory which detachably connects to the handpiece. The surgical accessory has a distal end which defines a cutting head incorporating two different types of tissue-treating areas.

Surgical tool systems, and methods of use thereof

A pump and a pump controller which uses an algorithm to quickly achieve and maintain a stable plasma field in a surgical site are provided. The algorithm calculates an electrical characteristic value to determine if a suction rate by the pump should be increased or decreased to achieve the stable plasma field. A method of using the pump and the pump controller is also provided.

Integrated pump control for dynamic control of plasma field

The present disclosure is directed to table mount for mounting a touchscreen device to a surgical table. The table mount includes a clamp configured to releasably secure the table mount to the table, a first arm rotatably connected to the clamp and configured to extend vertically from the surgical table, a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and a touchscreen device docking assembly rotatably connected to the second arm and configured to hold a touchscreen device.

A surgical tool arrangement for performing endoscopic surgical procedures which includes a powered handpiece and a surgical cutting accessory which detachably connects to the handpiece. The cutting accessory incorporates a cutting head for resecting tissue and a suction arrangement at the distal end of the cutting accessory closely adjacent the cutting head which suction arrangement serves to evacuate tissue from the surgical site and additionally serves as a cleaning mechanism for the surgical cutting accessory. The accessory additionally incorporates a bearing arrangement for supporting the cutting element as same rotates within the housing element.

Surgical tool arrangement and surgical cutting accessory for use therewith

In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to an electrosurgical device that includes an outer body, an inner body disposed partially within the outer body, three plates and an insulator. A first plate of the three plates includes a plurality of apertures and is positioned so that each of two projections extending from the inner body extend through a respective aperture of the plurality of apertures of the first plate. A second plate and a third plate of the three plates are both disposed on the first plate such that each of the two projections extends through an aperture of the second plate or the third plate, the second and third plates being fixed to a respective projection. The insulator is disposed around the inner body and is attached to the outer body at a first end and abuts the first plate at a second end opposite the first end.
