White John,

A system and method for using augmented reality device for use during a surgical procedure are described. A system may include an augmented reality device to present a virtual indication, such as a virtual indication of a surgical instrument, a force vector, a direction, or the like. The augmented reality device may present a virtual aspect of a procedure, such as a virtual animation of a step of a procedure. The augmented reality device may present a virtual object, indication, aspect, etc., within a surgical field while permitting the surgical field or aspects of the surgical field to be viewed through the augmented reality display (e.g., presenting virtual objects mixed with real objects).

A method of implanting a hip joint prosthesis into a patient can include obtaining image data of hip joint anatomy of the patient. Physical activities that the patient desires to participate in subsequent to implanting the hip prosthesis can be determined. A size and an initial placement of the hip joint prosthesis based on the image data can be determined. A desired range of motion of the hip joint prosthesis based on the determined physical activities can be determined. A plan can be created comprising a desired implanted location of the hip joint prosthesis and based on the desired range of motion. The plan can be incorporated onto a guide. The plan can be executed with the guide thereby implanting the hip joint prosthesis into the patient at the desired implanted position.

Systems and methods are described herein for resurfacing bones, and in particular, for detecting and resurfacing one or more femoroacetabular impingements (FAIs). A FAI resurfacing controller may be used to perform this detecting and resurfacing of FAIs. The FAI resurfacing controller may include a bone model generator to receive bone imaging and to generate a model of at least one osteophyte and of a surface of a native bone surrounding the at least one osteophyte. The FAI resurfacing controller may include an osteophyte identifier to set a virtual 3D boundary surface between native bone surface and the at least one osteophyte. The FAI resurfacing controller may include a resurfacing navigator to generate and output a navigation file. The navigation file may include the model with the 3D boundary surface between native bone surface and the at least one osteophyte.

A system and method for tracking an object within a surgical field are described. A system may include a mesh of cameras distributed around the surgical field, the mesh of cameras including, for example at least three cameras. Cameras in the mesh of cameras may be in known positions or orientations relative to the surgical field or may be mobile with position or orientation to be determined by the system. The system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to the mesh of cameras, the computing system including a processor and a memory device. The computing system may be used to generate tracking data for a tracked object from images or image data taken by one or more cameras of the mesh of cameras.

Systems and methods for using an augmented reality device during patient diagnosis. A method may include capturing an image of a patient, and presenting using an augmented reality display, while permitting the patient to be viewed through the augmented reality display, a virtual feature corresponding to anatomy of the patient obtained from the image. The method may include detecting impingement of the anatomy of the patient based on the image and displaying on the augmented reality display, an indication of the impingement at the virtual feature, such as by changing an attribute of the virtual feature.

A prosthetic system is disclosed that can have a feature for identifying an aspect of the prosthetic member and related instruments. The identification feature can identify cooperating components of the prosthetic system, such as an implant and instruments for use with the implant.
