SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING A JOINT

Abstract:

Disclosed are computer visual guidance systems for guiding surgeons through arthroscopic debridement of bony pathologies, including by automatically generating annotations relating to characteristics of bony pathology in an image. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a determination as to whether a femoral head of the bony pathology is endospherical or exospherical. The annotation may be generated in accordance with a mathematical model created based on anatomies of subjects other than the patient. Further disclosed is a user interfaces for guiding a surgeon through arthroscopic debridement of a bony pathology, wherein intraoperative images are displayed simultaneously with a preoperative plan comprising interactive three-dimensional models of an anatomical feature of a patient. Further disclosed is a user interface for guiding a physician in categorizing images of a patient, wherein the interface comprises an image viewing window and an interactive checklist for different image categories to be captured.
