An example method includes displaying, via a visualization device and overlaid on a portion of an anatomy of a patient viewable via the visualization device, a virtual model of the portion of the anatomy obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; and displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

Virtual guidance for orthopedic surgical procedures

An example device includes a surgical item for use in a surgical procedure; and a light on or within the surgical item. In this example, the light is controllable by an external device so as to identify the surgical item for use in the surgical procedure.

Automated instrument or component assistance using externally controlled light sources in orthopedic surgical procedures

Techniques are described for determining a pre-morbid shape of an anatomical object. Processing circuitry may determine an aligned shape based on image data with under- or over-segmentation. The processing circuitry may utilize the aligned shape and a shape model such as a mean shape model of the anatomical object to register the aligned shape to the shape model and generate information indicative of the pre-morbid shape of the anatomical object.

Pre-morbid characterization of anatomical object using statistical shape modeling (SSM)

An example medical device system includes a plurality of surgical items; and a visualization device configured to present a mixed reality (MR) presentation to a user; and one or more processors configured to select a surgical item of the plurality of surgical items based on a surgical procedure and present, in the MR presentation, virtual information that identifies the selected surgical item among the plurality of surgical items, wherein the virtual information is presented on or adjacent a position of the selected surgical item visible via the visualization device.

Automated instrument or component assistance using mixed reality in orthopedic surgical procedures

An example mixed reality (MR) system includes a first MR device configured to present first medical information and first real-world information to a first user via a first MR presentation; a second MR device configured to provide second medical information and second real-world information to a second user via a second MR presentation; and a third device configured to provide third information to a third user, wherein the third information is based at least in part on the first MR presentation or the second MR presentation.

Multi-user collaboration and workflow techniques for orthopedic surgical procedures using mixed reality

An extended reality (XR) visualization device worn by an orthopedic surgeon outputs a XR visualization for display. The XR visualization includes a set of one or more virtual checklist items. Each of the one or more virtual checklist items corresponds to an item in a checklist of steps of an orthopedic surgery. Additionally, the XR visualization device detects a command of the orthopedic surgeon to select a virtual checklist item in the set of virtual checklist items. In response to detecting the command, the XR visualization device updates the XR visualization to include additional information regarding a step of the orthopedic surgery corresponding to the selected virtual checklist item.

Virtual checklists for orthopedic surgery

An example system for demonstrating at least one aspect of an orthopedic surgical procedure includes a first device and a second device. In this example, the first device is configured to display a presentation to a first user, wherein the presentation includes one or more virtual elements and wherein the one or more virtual elements comprise a three-dimensional (3D) virtual representation of one or more anatomical features associated with the orthopedic surgical procedure. In this example, the second device is configured to display the presentation to a second user. In this example, the one or more virtual elements demonstrate at least one aspect of the orthopedic surgical procedure and wherein control of at least some of the one or more virtual elements are assignable from the first device to the second device.

Mixed reality-aided education using virtual models or virtual representations for orthopedic surgical procedures

An example system for demonstrating at least one aspect of an orthopedic surgical procedure includes a first device configured to display a presentation to a first user while the first user is wearing the device, wherein the presentation includes virtual element(s) that are controllable by the first user while the first user is wearing the first device, and wherein the virtual element(s) comprise a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual representation of one or more anatomical features associated with the orthopedic surgical procedure; and a second device configured to display the presentation to a second user, wherein the virtual element(s) further include virtual pre-operative plan element(s) shown relative to the 3D virtual representation, virtual surgical guidance feature(s) shown relative to the 3D virtual representation, or surgical result(s) virtually illustrated on the 3D virtual representation so as to demonstrate aspect(s) of the orthopedic surgical procedure.

Mixed reality-aided education related to orthopedic surgical procedures

Bone tracking during orthopedic surgical procedures is described herein. An anti-rotation base of a registration marker of a mixed reality surgery system includes a surface configured to rest on and bear against a surface of a glenoid of a patient. The anti-rotation base also includes a plurality of pin receptacles that each define a respective pin axis. The pin axis of a first pin receptacle of the plurality of pin receptacles is not parallel to the pin axis of a second pin receptacle of the plurality of pin receptacles. Additionally, the anti-rotation base includes a mounting receptacle configured to receive the registration marker.

Registration marker with anti-rotation base for orthopedic surgical procedures

A computing system obtains an information model specifying a first surgical plan for an orthopedic surgery to be performed on a patient. Additionally, the computing system modifies the first surgical plan during an intraoperative phase of the orthopedic surgery to generate a second surgical plan. During the intraoperative phase of the orthopedic surgery, a visualization device may present a visualization for display that is based on the second surgical plan.

Visualization of intraoperatively modified surgical plans

This disclosure describes a surgical implant device comprising a body that includes a porous material forming at least a portion of the body, wherein the porous material is configured to promote bone ingrowth and is porous to a fluid. In addition, one or more fluid channels are formed in the body. The one or more fluid channels are arranged to define a fluidic path that exits into the porous material.
