Robotic guided femoral head reshaping
First Claim
1. A method of performing hip surgery with a robotic guided system on a patient, the method comprising:
- identifying a femoral acetabular impingement on the patient;
touching at least one of proximal femur and acetabulum of the patient at a plurality of locations with a stylus coupled to a robotic arm associated with the robotic guided system and acquiring a plurality of corresponding data;
creating a three-dimensional model of at least one of the patients'"'"' proximal femur and acetabulum based on the plurality of data acquired by touching;
determining a location and amount of bone to be removed;
creating a boundary or model of a desired shape of at least one of the proximal femur and acetabulum;
setting dynamic movement limits of a cutting tool associated with the robotic guided system based on the determination; and
removing the determined bone of at least one of the proximal femur and acetabulum with the tool while being inhibited from moving the tool outside of the dynamic limit by the robotic guided system.

Abstract
A method of performing hip surgery with a robotic guided system on a patient with femoral acetabular impingement can include identifying the femoral acetabular impingement on the patient. Data related to a proximal femur and an acetabulum of the patient is acquired. A three-dimensional model of at least one of the patient'"'"'s proximal femur and acetabulum is created based on the data acquired. A location and amount of bone to be removed is determined. Dynamic movement limits of a cutting tool associated with the robotic guided system is set based on the determination. The determined bone of at least one of the proximal femur and acetabulum is removed with the tool while being inhibited from moving the tool outside of the dynamic limit by the robotic guided system.
