Method and apparatus for preplanning a surgical procedure
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A surgical system for use in a procedure to implant a prosthesis relative to an anatomy, comprising:
- an imaging device to obtain image data of a selected portion of the anatomy;
a planning system including a processor to execute operations relating to said image data;
wherein said imaging device is operable to generate image data of the selected portion of the anatomy prior to the procedure and the processor forms a model of the selected portion of the anatomy in a coordinate system based on the image data;
a display displays a portion of the anatomy to be removed in the model; and
wherein said processor determines a volume of the selected portion of the anatomy based on at least three measurements taken from the model within the coordinate system and selects a procedure to be performed on the selected portion of the anatomy and selects the prosthesis to be implanted based on the determined volume.

Abstract
A method and system to assist in a selection and planning of procedure and assist in selecting a prosthetic for the procedure. Generally, the system allows for image acquisition of a selected area of the anatomy. A model may be formed of the anatomy from the acquired images. The system may also allow for navigational tracking of the procedure to ensure that the procedure is substantially carried out relative to the selected plan.

22. A surgical system operable to obtain image data for use in a procedure to position a prosthesis in a selected portion of an anatomy, comprising:
-
a planning system including a processor to execute operations relating to the image data and forming an image based model of the selected portion of the anatomy; a display that displays the image based model; wherein the image data relates to the selected portion of the anatomy prior to the procedure; wherein said planning system is operable to measure a selected dimension of the selected portion of the anatomy from the image based model and to select a prosthesis based upon the measurement to substantially mimic the selected dimension and to plan the procedure to achieve a selected characteristic of the prosthesis at least in part based upon the selected dimension, and the display displays an area of the anatomy to be completely removed and an area of the anatomy yet to be removed. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A surgical system for use in a procedure to position an implant relative to an anatomy, comprising:
-
an imaging device to obtain image data of a selected portion of a spine of the anatomy; a planning system including a processor to execute operations relating to said image data; a display for displaying an area of the anatomy to be removed; wherein said imaging device is operable to generate image data of the selected portion of the anatomy prior to the procedure; and wherein said processor determines a selected dimension in said image data from said imaging device and selects an implant based upon the determined selected dimension; and an implant configured to be positionable relative to the selected portion of the spine based on the selected dimension, the implant having a characteristic that is adjustable during or after being positioned relative to the selected portion of the anatomy, wherein the characteristic includes a configuration of the implant that has an implanted configuration different than an unimplanted configuration. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
