Intraoperative implant augmentation
Methods and systems of augmenting an implant intraoperatively and preparing a cone for revision surgical procedure are disclosed. A system includes a cutting device, a tracking and navigation system and a cutting system in operable communication with the cutting device and the tracking and navigation system. The cutting device includes a communication system, a cutting element, and a plurality of optical trackers. The tracking and navigation system is configured to detect a location of optical trackers. The control system is configured to cause the tracking and navigation system to detect the location of the cutting device, determine a revised shape for an implant cavity, cause the cutting device to cut the implant cavity to the revised shape, select a shape for a cone to be placed in the revised implant cavity, and machine the cone to the selected shape.
1. A method for creating a cone to augment an implant intraoperatively, the method comprising:
determining a shape of an implant cavity corresponding to the implant;
selecting a shape and a position for a cone based on at least the determined shape of the implant cavity;
creating instructions for machining the cone, wherein the machined cone has the shape selected for the cone; and
transmitting the instructions to a device for machining the cone.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
defining a coordinate system for a tracking and navigation system during a surgical procedure.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein defining the coordinate system comprises identifying a set of fiduciary points on a patient using a registered probe having a plurality of optical trackers.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the shape of the implant cavity comprises tracing a surface of the implant cavity using a registered probe having a plurality of optical trackers.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the shape of the implant cavity comprises tracking a location of a cutting device used to shape a surface of the implant cavity.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising simulating the shape and the position of the cone using a graphical user interface.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein selecting the shape and the position of the cone comprises:
modifying one or more of the shape of the cone and the position of the cone within the graphical user interface; and
altering the selected shape and the selected position of the cone based on the modifications.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
updating the shape of the cone from the selected shape to a revised shape; and
creating second instructions for machining the machined cone to the revised shape.
9. A method for creating a cone to augment an implant intraoperatively, the method comprising:
determining a shape of an implant cavity corresponding to the implant;
selecting a shape and a position for a cone based on at least the determined shape of the implant cavity;
creating instructions for machining the cone, wherein the machined cone has the shape selected for the cone; and
monitoring the machining of the cone according to the instructions.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
defining a coordinate system for a tracking and navigation system during a surgical procedure.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein defining the coordinate system comprises identifying a set of fiduciary points on a patient using a registered probe having a plurality of optical trackers.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the shape of the implant cavity comprises tracing a surface of the implant cavity using a registered probe having a plurality of optical trackers.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the shape of the implant cavity comprises tracking a location of a cutting device used to shape a surface of the implant cavity.
14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising simulating the shape and the position of the cone using a graphical user interface.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein selecting the shape and the position of the cone comprises:
modifying one or more of the shape of the cone and the position of the cone within the graphical user interface; and
altering the selected shape and the selected position of the cone based on the modifications.
16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
updating the shape of the cone from the selected shape to a revised shape; and
creating second instructions for machining the machined cone to the revised shape.
17. A system for creating a cone to augment an implant intraoperatively, the system comprising:
a computer system configured to:
virtual mapping an implant cavity to determine the shape of the implant cavity corresponding to the implant;
select a shape and a position for a cone based on at least the determined shape of the implant cavity;
create instructions for machining the cone, wherein the machined cone has the shape selected for the cone; and
transmit the instructions to a device for machining the cone.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the system further comprises the device for machining the cone.
19. The system of claim 17 , further comprising a point probe, wherein the computer system is further configured to determine the shape of the implant cavity via the point probe.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the computer system is configured to provide a graphical user interface for modifying the shape and the position of the cone.
