COMPUTER-BASED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DIGITALLY ADJUSTING JOINT LAXITY IN A PERSONALIZED SURGICAL PLAN OF A JOINT ARTHROPLASTY PROCEDURE

Abstract

A method is provided for facilitating the implantation of an implant during a surgical procedure. The method includes obtaining bone registration data for a first bone member and a second bone member of a patient's joint, and acquiring patient-specific movement-related data during the procedure after the joint is subjected to at least one movement with a first predefined distraction force applied throughout a continuous range of motions. A distraction force model is used to conduct a joint gap simulation based on predefined ligament stiffness data, the movement-related data at the first distraction force, and at least one simulation distraction force value, resulting in joint gap simulation data. A surgical plan model utilizes the joint gap simulation data and bone registration data to generate a patient-specific intra-operative surgical plan comprising at least one surgical cut parameter. The method further includes cutting the first and/or second bone member based on the surgical plan to facilitate implant implantation.
