SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING CUSTOMIZED CONTROL BOUNDARIES
A method includes providing a boundary defining a portion of a bone to be resected, determining a position of a tracked probe, obtaining a customized boundary by changing a shape of the boundary based on the position of the tracked probe, and guiding operation of a cutting tool in an area defined by the customized boundary.
1 . A method, comprising:
providing a boundary defining a portion of a bone to be resected;
determining a position of a tracked probe;
obtaining a customized boundary by changing a shape of the boundary based on the position of the tracked probe; and
guiding operation of a cutting tool in an area defined by the customized boundary.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the boundary relative to a virtual representation of the bone and allowing a user to adjust a vertex of the standard control boundary using an input device.
3 . The method of claim 2 , comprising generating the virtual representation of the bone based on imaging of the bone.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the boundary comprises obtaining the boundary from a library of standard boundaries.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the position of the tracked probe indicates a position on an anatomic structure of a patient.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting an implant component to be implanted on the bone and providing the boundary based on the implant component.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the position of the tracked probe indicates a position of a soft tissue.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein guiding the operation of the cutting tool comprises providing feedback to a user based on a position of the cutting to relative to the customized boundary.
9 . A method, comprising:
providing a boundary defining a portion of a bone to be resected;
obtaining a customized boundary by changing a shape of the boundary based on a position of a patient tissue; and
guiding a bone resection based on the customized boundary.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein providing the boundary comprises loading the boundary from computer memory.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein providing the boundary comprises selecting the boundary based on selection of an implant such that the boundary is a predefined boundary associated with the implant.
12 . The method of claim 9 , comprising determining the position of the patient tissue by tracking a probe.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the patient tissue is a soft tissue.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein guiding operation of the surgical tool based on the customized boundary comprises causing the surgical tool to operate on the bone inside the customized boundary.
15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein guiding operation of the surgical tool based on the customized boundary comprises controlling a robotic device interfacing with the surgical tool.
16 . A system, comprising:
a probe;
an optical tracking system configured to determine a position of the probe;
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing programming instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
providing a boundary defining a portion of a bone to be resected;
obtaining a customized boundary by changing a shape of the boundary based on the position of the probe;
providing guidance for operation of a cutting tool based on the customized boundary.
17 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising a robotic arm, wherein providing the guidance comprises controlling the robotic arm based on the customized boundary.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein providing the boundary comprises loading the boundary from storage in the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media.
19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the boundary corresponds to a shape of an implant for implantation at the bone.
20 . The system of claim 16 , wherein obtaining the customized boundary by changing the shape of the boundary based on the position of the probe comprises registering a position of a patient tissue based on the position of the probe and changing the shape of the boundary based on the position of the patient tissue.
