SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRE-OPERATIVE PLANNING AND PRECISE BONE TUNNEL PLACEMENT FOR LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

Methods and systems to optimize ligament reconstruction surgical outcomes by enabling bone tunnel(s) to be precisely and optimally placed through the use of pre-operative planning systems coupled with precision control bone evacuation machines, such as robotic drills are provided. The methods generally include receiving and processing scan data of a patient's bone(s); pre-determining the optimal tunnel placement parameter(s) with the scan data; placing registration marker(s) on the patient's bone(s) percutaneously; and creating a tunnel in the patient's bone(s) with a system coupled to receive and execute according to the pre-determined optimal tunnel placement parameter(s).

1. A method for tunnel placement for ligament reconstruction in a subject comprising:
receiving and processing scan data of a bone or a joint inclusive of the bone; pre-determining a tunnel placement parameter with the scan data; and creating a tunnel in the bone of the subject according to the pre-determined tunnel placement parameter.
