Problems solved by technology

However, the patient's surrounding soft tissues also affect the kinematics and stability of the orthopedic knee prosthesis throughout the joint's range of motion
That is, the forces exerted by the patient's soft tissues on the orthopedic component can cause unwanted or undesired motion of the orthopedic knee prosthesis

Abstract

A surgical planning computing system and related surgical method include identifying an anatomical landmark of a patient's bony anatomy in a three-dimensional anatomical image and determining positioning criteria for an orthopedic prosthesis to be implanted into the patient's bony anatomy. The positioning criteria may define an alignment between the anatomical landmark and a feature of the orthopaedic prosthesis. A three-dimensional model of the orthopaedic prosthesis is positioned in the three-dimensional model based on the positioning criteria to provide a surgical plan for the implantation of the orthopaedic prosthesis.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 842,201, filed May 2, 2019, entitled "ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT PLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD," which is expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety Application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to orthopedic surgery, and more particularly to the placement of orthopedic prostheses during the performance of orthopedic surgery. Background technique [0004] Arthroplasty is a well-known surgical procedure whereby a diseased and / or damaged natural joint is replaced with a prosthetic joint. A typical knee prosthesis includes a tibial tray, a femoral component, and a polymeric insert or bearing positioned between the tibial tray and the femoral component. Depending on how severely damaged the patient's joint is, orthopedic prostheses with varying degrees of mobility are available. For example, a ...
