Abstract

A robotic system is provided for assisting during bone surgery, adapted to control the position of a limb. The robotic system includes a robotic arm connected to a fixation device for rigidly connecting the distal bone to the robotic arm and allowing movement in six degrees of freedom. Specifically, the fixation device provides at least two fixation points to the distal bone. The first fixation point can be rigidly connected to the distal bone near the joint and the second fixation point can be rigidly connected to a distal position of the distal bone. The rigid connection of the distal bone to the robotic arm allows the robotic system to impose controlled movement on the distal bone in six degrees of freedom.
