Abstract

A method of visualizing an implant plan includes visualizing, on a graphical user interface, a bone and an implant in a planned pose relative to the bone, providing, on the graphical user interface, a marking at a portion of the implant associated with violation of a criterion by the planned pose, and removing the marking from the graphical user interface in response to an update to the planned pose that resolves the violation of the criterion.

Claims (31)

1 . A method of visualizing an implant plan, comprising:

visualizing, on a graphical user interface, a bone and an implant in a planned pose relative to the bone;

providing, on the graphical user interface, a marking at a portion of the implant associated with violation of a criterion by the planned pose; and

removing the marking from the graphical user interface in response to an update to the planned pose that resolves the violation of the criterion.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the marking at the portion of the implant associated with the violation of the criterion by the planned pose comprises highlighting the portion of the implant.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the violation is that the portion of the implant extends beyond a perimeter of the bone in the planned pose.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the marking is an icon associated with the criterion, wherein providing the marking at the portion of the implant associated with the violation of the criterion comprises virtually positioning the icon on the portion of the implant.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the criterion is associated with joint impingement.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, on the graphical user interface, a different marking at a different portion of the implant associated with a different violation of a different criterion by the planned pose.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the marking represents a notching warning and the violation of the criterion is associated with the planned pose being associated with a notch cut into the bone.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the violation is that the portion of the implant is spaced apart from the bone.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the criterion is based on a distance between a cut plane associated with the planned pose and a position of a checkpoint on the bone.

10 . A system for visualizing an implant plan, comprising:

a display; and

a computer programmed to:

visualize, on a graphical user interface presented on the display, a bone and an implant in a planned pose relative to the bone;

provide, on the graphical user interface presented on the display, a marking at a portion of the implant associated with violation of a criterion by the planned pose; and

remove the marking from the graphical user interface in response to an update to the planned pose that resolves the violation of the criterion.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the computer is programmed to provide the marking at the portion by highlighting the portion of the implant.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the violation is that the portion of the implant extends beyond a perimeter of the bone in the planned pose.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the marking is an icon associated with the criterion, wherein the computer is programmed to provide the marking at the portion of the implant associated with the violation of the criterion by virtually positioning the icon on the portion of the implant.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the criterion is associated with joint impingement.

15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the computer is further programmed to provide on the graphical user interface, a different marking at a different portion of the implant associated with a different violation of a different criterion by the planned pose.

16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the marking represents a notching warning and the violation of the criterion is associated with the planned pose being associated with a notch cut into the bone.

17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the violation is that the portion of the implant is spaced apart from the bone.

18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the criterion is based on a distance between a cut plane associated with the planned pose and a position of a checkpoint on the bone.

19 . A method of visualizing an implant plan, comprising:

visualizing, on a graphical user interface, a bone and an implant in a planned pose relative to the bone;

determining a position, on the bone, of a checkpoint for verifying registration; and

providing, on the graphical user interface, a warning based on a distance between the checkpoint and a plane associated with the planned pose of the implant violating a criterion.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising removing the warning from the graphical user interface in response to an update to the planned pose that moves the implant away from the checkpoint.
