Abstract

At least one embodiment is directed to a system (1100) to generate an orthopedic dynamic data repository and registry (2214). The system (1100) can measure a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system and align at least one of the surfaces to a mechanical axis. The system (1100) comprises disposable sensors (1106), disposable targets (1110), lasers (1114), a processing unit (1122), a display (1124), a reader (1120), a receiver (1118), spacer blocks (1102), and a distractor 1104. The sensors (1106) convert measured data to electronic digital form and are in communication with the processing unit (1122) to display, process, store, and send data to dynamic data repository and registry (2214). Parameters can be measured pre-operatively, intra-operatively, post-operatively, and long term using sensor (1106). A customer (2402) can receive measured data and analysis from dynamic data repository and registry (2214).

Claims

1. A computer implemented method to generate and provide an orthopedic dynamic data repository and registry comprising:

displaying electronic digital information related to measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system from one or more patients;

selecting from a data selection criteria;

requesting access to the orthopedic data repository and registry having measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system; and

delivering data from the orthopedic data repository and registry corresponding to the data selection criteria.

2. The method of claim 1 further including a step of selecting measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria that is patient anonymous.

3. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria having patient information.

4. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting pre-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

5. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting intra-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

6. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting post-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

7. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting long-term measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

8. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting measured data on a joint of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

9. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting measured data on bone density from the data selection criteria.

10. The method of claim 1 where the step of selecting further includes selecting measured data of the muscular-skeletal system based on gender, age, ethnicity, location, or combinations thereof.

11. The method of claim 1 further including a step of providing data to the orthopedic data repository and registry.

12. A computer implemented method to generate and provide an orthopedic dynamic data repository and registry comprising:

displaying electronic digital information related to measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system from one or more patients;

selecting pre-operatively measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from a data selection criteria;

requesting access to a orthopedic data repository and registry having measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system; and

delivering pre-operatively measured data from the orthopedic data repository and registry corresponding to the data selection criteria.

13. The method of claim 12 further including the steps of:

measuring one or more parameters of the muscular-skeletal system pre-operatively with a sensored tool;

enabling the sensored tool to communicate with a processing unit;

converting measured parameters to an electronic digital form; and

sending parameter measurements to the orthopedic data repository and registry where the parameter measurements can include patient information.

14. The method of claim 13 further including the steps of:

measuring one or more parameters of the muscular-skeletal system post-operatively with an implanted sensor;

enabling the implanted sensor to communicate with at a processing unit;

converting measured parameters to an electronic digital form; and

sending parameter measurements to the orthopedic data repository and registry where the patient measurements can include patient information.

15. The method of claim 12 further including a step of selecting pre-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

16. The method of claim 12 further including a step of selecting post-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

17. The method of claim 12 further including a step of selecting long-term measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.

18. A computer implemented method to generate and provide an orthopedic dynamic data repository and registry comprising:

displaying electronic digital information related to measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system from one or more patients;

selecting post-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from a data selection criteria;

requesting access to intra-operative orthopedic data repository and registry having measured parameters of the muscular-skeletal system; and

delivering data from the orthopedic data repository and registry corresponding to the data selection criteria.

19. The method of claim 18 further including the steps of:

measuring one or more parameters of the muscular-skeletal system post-operatively with an implanted sensor;

enabling the implanted sensor to communicate with at a processing unit;

converting measured parameters to an electronic digital form; and

sending parameter measurements to the orthopedic data repository and registry where the patient measurements can include patient information.

20. The method of claim 19 further including a step of selecting intra-operative measured data of the muscular-skeletal system from the data selection criteria.
