Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
The present disclosure relates to an advanced robotic-assisted revision procedure system that leverages real-time feedback and artificial intelligence to minimize bone loss, reduce the risk of damage to surrounding tissue, and optimize the cutting trajectory for more efficient and safer removal of primary implants.
Background and Problem Solved
Currently, surgeons perform revision surgeries, such as revision knee and hip procedures, manually or with limited robotic assistance. This can result in inaccurate cutting, removing more bone than desired, and lessening the strength and integrity of the bone. The original patent disclosed a method for performing a robotic-assisted revision procedure, but it had limitations in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and safety. The present inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing real-time feedback and AI-powered optimization to the robotic-assisted revision procedure system.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The advanced robotic-assisted revision procedure system consists of a robotic arm with a cutting instrument, a force sensor for detecting the force applied by the cutting instrument, and a control unit that adjusts the cutting trajectory based on the detected force. The system also generates a 3D model of the subject's bone structure in real-time, allowing for more accurate removal of the primary implant. Furthermore, the system utilizes artificial intelligence to predict the optimal cutting trajectory based on the subject's bone structure and the primary implant's location, reducing the time and complexity of the revision procedure. The system can also be configured to automatically adjust the cutting trajectory based on real-time feedback from the force sensor, minimizing bone loss and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The present inventive concept introduces several novel features that distinguish it from the original patent. These include the use of real-time feedback from a force sensor to adjust the cutting trajectory, the generation of a 3D model of the subject's bone structure in real-time, and the application of artificial intelligence to predict the optimal cutting trajectory. These features provide a significant improvement in accuracy, efficiency, and safety over the original patent, and are considered non-obvious and innovative in the field of robotic-assisted revision procedures.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different types of sensors, such as optical or acoustic sensors, to provide real-time feedback. The system could also be adapted for use in different types of revision procedures, such as spinal or cranial procedures. Additionally, the AI-powered optimization could be integrated with other surgical planning tools to provide a more comprehensive surgical solution.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The advanced robotic-assisted revision procedure system has significant commercial potential in the orthopedic and surgical markets. The system's ability to minimize bone loss, reduce the risk of damage to surrounding tissue, and optimize the cutting trajectory for more efficient and safer removal of primary implants makes it an attractive solution for hospitals and surgical centers. The market for robotic-assisted surgical systems is growing rapidly, and the present inventive concept is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
