    摘要: A dual-mode closed-loop measurement system for capturing a transit time, phase, or frequency of energy waves propagating through a medium is disclosed. A first module comprises an inductor drive circuit, an inductor, a transducer, and a filter. A second module housed in a screw comprises an inductor and a transducer. The screw is bio-compatible and allows an accurate delivery of the circuit into the muscular-skeletal system. The inductor can be attached and interconnected on a flexible substrate that fits into a cavity in the screw. The first and second modules are operatively coupled together. The first module provides energy to power the second module. The second module emits an energy wave into the medium that propagates to the first module. The transit time of energy waves is measured and correlated to the parameter by known relationship.

    摘要: A kinematics tracking system is described. The kinematics tracking system includes a first device configured to couple to a first segment of a musculoskeletal system and a second device configured to couple to a second segment of the musculoskeletal system. The kinematics tracking system further includes a computer configured to receive measurement data from the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device each have at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure orientation. The computer includes an application configured to support a registration process for the first and second devices. The application is configured to guide a user through at least one movement during the registration process.

    摘要: A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure load, position of load, and joint alignment. The system further includes a remote system for receiving, processing, and displaying quantitative measurements from the sensors. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the applied load magnitude, position of load, and joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation. The kinetic assessment increases both performance and reliability of the installed joint by reducing error that is introduced by elements that load or modify the joint dynamics not taken into account by prior assessment methods.

    摘要: A system is disclosed to support installation of a prosthetic joint or a prosthetic component. The system includes at least one sensor to measure a parameter. The system uses one or more patient specific instruments in conjunction with a tensor to make one or more bone cuts. The patient specific instruments and tensor make the bone cuts such that an installed prosthetic joint is aligned, balanced, loaded correctly, and positioned optimally for performance and reliability. The use of the tensor simplifies the workflow required when using the patient specific instruments. In one embodiment, the patient specific instruments are bone cutting jigs configured for the patient anatomy.

    摘要: A surgical apparatus configured to be placed in the musculoskeletal system to precisely separate a first bone from a second bone. The surgical apparatus has one or more sensors to measure one or more parameters and supports one or more bone cuts for installing a prosthetic component. The surgical apparatus has at least one distraction mechanism configured to increase or decrease a height between a first support structure and a second support structure. A tilt mechanism comprises the at least one distraction mechanism. The tilt mechanism couples through a first pivot point and a second pivot point and adjusts a tilt of the second support structure relative to the first support structure. In one embodiment, loading applied to the second support structure is distributed between the first pivot point and the second pivot point during operation of the surgical apparatus.
