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

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 includes a first device configured to display a first presentation to a first user, wherein the first presentation includes one or more virtual elements configured to assist the first user in an orthopedic surgical procedure; and a second device configured to display a second presentation to a second user, wherein the second user provides surgical assistance on the orthopedic surgical procedure. In this example, the second device is further configured to display content that informs the second user on one or more previously-executed steps of the orthopedic surgical procedure.

Mixed reality-aided surgical assistance in orthopedic surgical procedures

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

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

An example method includes registering, via a visualization device, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of an ankle of a patient to a corresponding portion of the anatomy of the ankle viewable via the visualization device, the virtual model obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an ankle arthroplasty procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy. The example method also comprises 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 ankle surgery procedures

A humeral guide is provided that has a first portion or member configured to be positioned on a portion of a proximal humerus. The first portion or member can be configured to rest in a complementary manner on the portion of the proximal humerus. The humeral guide can be configured with apertures defining trajectories through bone, the pin trajectories being diverging in some case and in some cases being selected to enhanced support. A second portion or member and a third portion or member of the humeral guide are configured to be positioned on first and second lateral portions of the humerus distal to a location intended for resection, e.g., between an anatomical neck and a distal end of the humerus. The second and third portions or members or portions are configured to rest in a complementary manner on the first and second lateral portions of the humerus. The humeral guide can be configured to avoid soft tissue between a bone facing side and the humerus. The humeral guide can have a removeable jig portion.
