A system for assessing spinal implants includes at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive first image data of a spinal column of a patient, determine, based on the first image data, a property of first bony anatomy in at least a first portion of the spinal column, determine, based on the property of the first bony anatomy, an initial screw trajectory for inserting a screw into the spinal column, virtually insert the screw along the initial screw trajectory using the first image data to generate modified first image data, perform an initial loading simulation for the virtually inserted screw using the modified first image data, and determine, based on the initial loading simulation, a suitability of the initial screw trajectory for implanting the screw into the spinal column.

Devices, methods, and systems for assessing suitability of spinal implants

A system for assessing a status of a spinal implant includes a reader device, a wearable body sensor, and a spinal implant. The wearable body sensor includes a first short-range receiver, a first short-range transmitter, and an inertial measurement unit. The wearable body sensor is configured to be positioned over a portion of a spine of a wearer, and measure movement information corresponding to spinal motion of the wearer while the wearer performs one or more movements while wearing the wearable body sensor. The spinal implant includes one or more sensors configured to measure implant information comprising one or more characteristics of a fusion status of the spinal implant, a second short-range receiver, and a second short-range transmitter. The wearable body sensor is configured to communicate movement information to the reader device. The spinal implant is configured to communicate implant information to the reader device via the second transmitter.

System and method for post-operative assessment of spinal motion and implant-based strain correlation

A surgical instrument includes a first member defining an axis. A second member is axially translatable relative to the first member. A cutting element is connected with the second member and has a cutting surface. The cutting element is rotatable relative to the second member to transversely move cut tissue. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

Systems and methods are provided to plan a spinal correction surgery. The method includes measuring parameters of a spine in a two-dimensional (2D) spinal image including a thoracic Cobb angle and a thoracic kyphosis (TK) and transforming the 2D image to a three-dimensional (3D), spinal image representation. The transforming includes performing segmentation of spine elements in the 2D image, and applying a formula based on the thoracic Cobb angle and the TK to the spine elements. The method includes identifying a TK goal having a post-operative TK value to selected spine elements, transforming a gap of the spine elements representative of a difference between the pre-operative TK in 3D spinal image representation and the TK goal to create a 3D post-operative spinal image representation, and determining a first rod design based on the 3D post-operative spinal image representation to achieve the post-operative TK value in the spine elements.

Systems and methods for planning a patient-specific spinal correction

A system for assessing a status of a spinal implant includes a wearable apparatus having an electronics system and one or more spinal implants in communication with the wearable apparatus. The electronics system includes a first short-range receiver, a first short-range transmitter, and an inertial measurement unit. The wearable apparatus is configured to constrain one or more movements of a wearer when worn. The one or more spinal implants include one or more sensors configured to measure one or more characteristics of a fusion status of the spinal implant, a second short-range receiver, and a second short-range transmitter. The one or more spinal implants are configured to communicate one or more of the measured characteristics to the wearable apparatus via the second transmitter.

Motion limiting apparatus for assessing status of spinal implants

A method of assessing spinal column stability involves receiving image data corresponding to a spinal column of a patient; determining, based on the image data, a material strength of bony anatomy in at least a portion of the spinal column; completing a first stability assessment of the spinal column, based at least in part on the determined material strength; modifying the image data to simulate removal of bony anatomy or soft tissue from the spinal column to yield modified image data; and completing a second stability assessment of the spinal column, based at least in part on the determined material strength and the modified image data.

Assessment of spinal column integrity

Systems, instruments, and methods for surgical navigation with verification feedback are provided. The systems, instruments, and methods may be used to verify a trajectory of a surgical tool during a procedure. The systems, instruments, and methods may receive one or more captured images of an anatomical portion of a patient; execute a surgical plan to insert the surgical tool into the anatomical portion; receive sensor data collected from one or more sensors being inserted into the anatomical portion; determine whether the sensor data corresponds to the surgical plan; and send, in response to determining that the sensor data does not correspond to the surgical plan, an alert indicating that the surgical tool is not being inserted according to the surgical plan. The one or more sensors may be attached to the surgical tool.

Systems, instruments and methods for surgical navigation with verification feedback

A system of generating a pre-operative assessment of a patient includes an assessment system configured to communicate with client electronic devices. The system receives patient information pertaining to a patient, uses the patient information to access one or more medical images associated with the patient, performs one or more image processing techniques on the one or more medical images to identify measurements pertaining to an internal bodily structure of the patient, identifies one or more implant components for the patient, determines whether the one or more implant components are currently stocked, in response to determining that the one or more implant components are not currently stocked, automatically generates and placing an order for the one or more implant components that are not stocked, generates a pre-operative assessment for the patient, and causes the assessment to be displayed on a display device of a client electronic device.

Pre-operative assessment and inventory management system

A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.

Break-off set screw

A spinal implant assembly includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw includes a bottom bore portion, and the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The spinal implant assembly includes a capacitive assembly having an integrated circuit located within an internal portion the capacitive assembly, and a plurality of capacitive plates positioned on an outside bottom surface of the capacitive assembly. Each of the capacitive plates is in operable communication with the integrated circuit, and the capacitive assembly is configured to be received within the central opening of the set screw, such that the plurality of capacitive plates are positioned above the bottom bore portion.
