Journal ArticleDOI
An image-directed robotic system for precise orthopaedic surgery
Russell H. Taylor,B.D. Mittelstadt,H.A. Paul,William A. Hanson,Peter Kazanzides,Joel Zuhars,Bill Williamson,Bela Musits,Edward Glassman,William L. Bargar +9 more
TL;DR: An image-directed robotic system to augment the performance of human surgeons in precise bone machining procedures in orthopaedic surgery, initially targeted at cementless total hip replacement surgery, demonstrates an order-of-magnitude improvement in implant fit and placement accuracy, compared to standard manual preparation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a surgical robot for cementless total hip arthroplasty.
H.A. Paul,William L. Bargar,Brent Mittlestadt,Bela Musits,Russell H. Taylor,Peter Kazanzides,Joel Zuhars,Bill Williamson,William A. Hanson +8 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to obtain an exact fit for the prosthesis through the use of an image-directed surgical robot for femoral canal preparation.
Patent
System and method for cavity generation for surgical planning and initial placement of a bone prosthesis
TL;DR: In this article, a bone model is generated from a scanned image of a bone, a prosthesis model is selected from a library of prosthesis models (304) and then a cavity model is formed based on the prosthesis and/or the bone model.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Force sensing and control for a surgical robot
TL;DR: The authors describe the use of force feedback in a surgical robot system (ROBODOC), where the robot must prepare a cavity in the femur for an artificial implant, and an intuitive man-machine interface is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated system for cementless hip replacement
Peter Kazanzides,B.D. Mittelstadt,Bela Musits,William L. Bargar,Joel Zuhars,Bill Williamson,P.W. Cain,E.J. Carbone +7 more
TL;DR: Describes robotics and medical imaging technology in the enhancement of precision surgery and considers cementless total hip replacement application and system overview.
