Abstract
Augmented and/or mixed reality systems for performing various types of arthroplasty are provided, along with methods of performing various types of arthroplasty using such augmented reality systems. More particularly, the augmented and/or mixed reality system and method is used to achieve accurate bone preparation, implant placement and orientation, and biomechanical restoration in orthopaedic arthroplasty procedures. Preparation, implantation, and adjustment of arthroplasty surgical sites, prosthetic components, and tailoring and positioning of installed prosthetic components can be guided using augmented reality overlays, projections, or combined imaging of a surgeon's real-world view.
