First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for preparing a physical joint in a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one processor, anda see through optical head mounted display, anda user interface,wherein the user interface is configured to select a virtual implant component from a library of virtual implant components,wherein the system is configured to display the virtual implant component by the see through optical head mounted display, wherein the virtual implant component is a three-dimensional digital representation corresponding to at least one portion of a physical implant component, a placement indicator of the physical implant component, or a combination thereof, wherein the system is configured to display at least a portion of the virtual implant component onto a surface of the physical joint visible directly through the see through optical head mounted display, so as to superimpose the at least a portion of the virtual implant component onto the surface of the physical joint,wherein the system is configured to allow superimposition and alignment of the at least a portion of the virtual implant component with at least one anatomic structure of the physical joint, and wherein the see through optical head mounted display is registered in a coordinate system, wherein the at least one anatomic structure is registered in the coordinate system, and wherein the virtual implant component is registered in the coordinate system.
