Abstract

An arthroplasty trial assembly for a human shoulder can include a first implant securable to a first bone and a second implant securable to a second bone. The second implant can include a body, a stem, an articulation component, and a sensor. The stem can extend from the body, and the stem can be insertable into the second bone. The articulation component can be coupled to the body opposite the stem, and the articulation component can be articulable with the first implant. The sensor can be connected to the articulation component and can be configured to monitor a condition of the second implant and can produce a sensor signal as a function of the condition that is indicative of stability of the shoulder.

Claims (51)

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for presenting a user interface, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

display an implant image on the user interface representing a first implant securable to a first bone;

receive a signal from the first implant based on a proximity of a second implant relative to a plurality of proximity sensors of the first implant, the second implant securable to a second bone;

display a plurality of proximity displays representing the plurality of proximity sensors connected to the first implant;

adjust a color of at least one of the plurality of proximity displays based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant securable to the second bone to the first implant and the plurality of proximity sensors;

adjust a color of a first proximity display and a second proximity display of the plurality of proximity displays based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant to the first implant and a first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor corresponding to the first proximity display and the second proximity display, respectively;

adjust the color of the first proximity display independently of the color of the second proximity display;

display a first color on the first proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor;

display a second color on the second proximity display when the second implant does not cover the second proximity sensor where one or more of the first implant and the second implant is adjusted in a surgical procedure based on display of one or more of the first color and the second color.

2. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display the first color on the first proximity display and the second proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor.

3. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display the plurality of proximity displays in an X-shape to correspond to an X shape of the plurality of proximity sensors on the first implant.

4. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

adjust a color of a third proximity display of the plurality of proximity displays based on proximity of the second implant to the first implant and a third proximity sensor corresponding to the third proximity display.

5. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

adjust the colors of the first proximity display, the second proximity display, and the third proximity display independently.

6. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display the first color on the first proximity display, the second proximity display, and the third proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor, the second proximity sensor, and the third proximity sensor.

7. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions for presenting the user interface, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display the first color on the first proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor;

display the second color on the second proximity display when the second implant does not cover the second proximity sensor and is nearby the second proximity sensor; and

display a third color on the third proximity display when the second implant does not cover the third proximity sensor.

8. A method of producing a display representing an interaction between a first implant and a second implant, the method comprising:

displaying a first implant image on a user interface, the first implant image representing a first implant securable to a first bone;

displaying a first proximity display on the first implant image, the first proximity display representing a first proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

displaying a second proximity display on the first implant image, the second proximity display representing a second proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

receiving a signal from the first implant or a second implant based on a proximity of the first implant relative to the second implant;

adjusting a color of the first proximity display based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant securable to a second bone to the first implant and the first proximity sensor;

adjusting a color of the second proximity display based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant to the first implant and the second proximity sensor;

displaying a third proximity display on the first implant image, the third proximity display representing a third proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

adjusting a color of the third proximity display based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant to the first implant and the third proximity sensor;

displaying a first color on the first proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor;

displaying a second color on the second proximity display when the second implant does not cover the second proximity sensor and is nearby the second proximity sensor;

displaying a third color on the third proximity display when the second implant does not cover the third proximity sensor, where one or more of the first implant and the second implant is adjusted in a surgical procedure based on display of one or more of the first color, the second color, and the third color.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

adjusting the color of the first proximity display independently of the color of the second proximity display.

10. A method of producing a display representing an interaction between a first implant and a second implant, the method comprising:

displaying a first implant image on a user interface, the first implant image representing a first implant securable to a first bone;

displaying a first proximity display on the first implant image, the first proximity display representing a first proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

displaying a second proximity display on the first implant image, the second proximity display representing a second proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

displaying a third proximity display on the first implant image, the third proximity display representing a third proximity sensor connected to the first implant;

receiving a signal from the first implant or a second implant based on a proximity of the first implant relative to the second implant;

adjusting a color of the first proximity display based on the signal indicating proximity of the second implant securable to a second bone to the first implant and the first proximity sensor, displaying a first color on the first proximity display when the second implant covers the first proximity sensor;

displaying a second color on the second proximity display when the second implant does not cover the second proximity sensor and is nearby the second proximity sensor;

displaying a third color on the third proximity display when the second implant does not cover the third proximity sensor, where a location of the first implant relative to the first bone or a location of the second implant relative to the second implant is adjusted in a surgical procedure based on display of one or more of the first color, the second color, and the third color.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first proximity sensor is located on a superior portion of the first implant, the second proximity sensor is located on a anterior portion of the first implant, and the third proximity sensor is located on an inferior portion of the first implant.
