Abstract
Surgical systems, methods and surgical planning programs to facilitate preparation of an anatomical cavity to receive a cup implant. The system includes a control system, a localizer and a robotic manipulator configured to move an energy applicator that is adapted to remove tissue. The control system obtains or generates a surgical plan that defines characteristics of cement holes to be formed within a wall of the anatomical cavity for receiving bone cement. The control system registers the surgical plan to the anatomical cavity with the localizer and controls the robotic manipulator to utilize the energy applicator to form the cement holes within the wall of the anatomical cavity according to the surgical plan.
