A knee resurfacing process has the steps of fixing a bone in a position, creating an incision in a knee so as to expose a surface of the knee, guiding a probe of a robot arm around the perimeter of a search zone on the surface of the knee, probing the probe of the robot arm onto the knee so as to define a plurality of points within the perimeter, collecting point cloud data from the plurality of points so as to form an image of the probed surface, and shaping the knee relative to the collected point cloud data. The step of guiding is hand guiding the probe so that the probe penetrates tissues at a bony surface of the knee and contacts the bone of the knee. A force of the contact of the probe with the bone of the knee is measured.

A system for supporting and manipulating a leg of a patient, the system including a base configured to be releasably secured to the ground, a first elongate guide rail coupled to the base, wherein the first elongate guide rail has a longitudinal axis, a boot moveably coupled to the first elongate guide rail, wherein the boot is configured to receive and retain at least a portion of a foot of the patient, a drape hanger assembly coupled to the base and configured to support a drape, wherein the drape hanger assembly includes a pair of drape hangers oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first elongate guide rail, wherein the pair of drape hangers are disposed on opposite sides of the first elongate guide rail in top view, and a drape attached to each drape hanger and positioned between the boot and the first elongate guide rail.

A foot holding assembly for securing a foot of a patient during a surgical or diagnostic procedure includes a boot configured to hold the foot of the patient. In addition the assembly includes a rigid sole coupled to the boot. Further, the assembly includes a pivot arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the sole with a rotatable coupling configured to allow the sole to rotate relative to the first end of the pivot arm about an axis oriented perpendicular to the sole. The rotatable coupling includes an incremental locking mechanism including a locked position and an unlocked position. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the locked position, the rotational position of the sole about the axis is releasably locked. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, the sole is free to rotate relative the first end of the pivot arm only about the axis.

A system for supporting and manipulating a leg of a patient including a base configured to be releasably secured to the ground, a first guide rail coupled to the base, wherein the first guide rail has a longitudinal axis, a boot coupled to the first guide rail, wherein the boot is configured to receive and retain at least a portion of a foot of the patient, and a drape hanger assembly coupled to the base, wherein the drape hanger assembly includes a pair of drape hangers oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first elongate guide rail.

A system for securing and manipulating a patient during a medical procedure comprises a support assembly coupled to a bed and configured to support a patient's leg. In addition the system comprises a rail coupled to the support assembly. The rail has a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. In addition, the system comprises a perineal post movably mounted to the rail and oriented in a generally vertical direction. The post assembly is configured to move axially along the rail between a first position and a second position.

A system and method for securing a patient's leg during a medical or diagnostic procedure having a rail assembly including a first rail pivotally coupled to a second rail, a slider block, a pivot arm, and a sole assembly with a boot to restrain and support the patient's foot.

A system for manipulating the position and orientation of a patient's leg includes an extension rail configured to be coupled to an operating table or bed. In addition, the system includes an elongate support rail coupled to the extension rail and having a longitudinal axis. Further, the system includes a deck coupled to the support rail. The deck is configured to be moved axially relative to the support rail.

Telescoping and elevating femoral support

A femoral support system includes a plate configured to support the pelvis of a patient on a table. In addition, the system includes a femoral support pivotally coupled to the plate and configured to support the thigh of the patient.
