Assignee:

Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. - Warsaw IN

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2

Abstract:

A method of patient assessment, treatment, and outcome modeling is disclosed. The method includes obtaining patient characteristic information from a current patient, defining a plurality of therapeutic factors based on the characteristic information of the current patient, and weighting the therapeutic factors. The method also includes accessing at least one database having medical records of prior patients, the medical records including prior patient characteristic information, prior patient treatment plan, and prior patient outcome, comparing the weighted factors of the current patient to the medical records of the prior patients to identify one or more relevant prior patient records, and retrieving at least a portion of the relevant prior patient records, the portion including at least the prior patient treatment plan and the prior patient outcome. The method also includes performing a simulation of at least one of the prior patient treatment plans based on the current patient's characteristic information and selecting a treatment plan for the current patient.

US Classification:

600373, 600594, 606300

Abstract:

Methods and systems for performing a surgical procedure using implantable sensors are disclosed. The method includes providing one or more implantable sensors, each sensor configured for implantation adjacent to an anatomical feature of a patient; imaging the patient to determine the relative positions of the one or more implantable sensors relative to the anatomical features of the patient; inserting an implant adjacent to at least one of the anatomical features; and tracking the position of the implant relative to the at least one anatomical feature during the inserting of the implant using the implantable sensors.

International Classification:

A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600424

Abstract:

Methods and systems for visualizing and analyzing anatomical motion are disclosed. The method includes providing a plurality of implantable sensors, each sensor configured for implantation adjacent to an anatomical feature of a patient and tracking the positions of the implantable sensors as the patient is put through a diagnostic motion protocol. The method also includes correlating the positions of the implantable sensors to the positions of the anatomical features of the patient adjacent to the sensors, visualizing a motion sequence of the anatomical features according to the positions of the anatomical features from the diagnostic motion protocol; and analyzing the motion sequence of the anatomical features to identify a medical problem.

US Classification:

606249, 606279, 604 9301

Abstract:

A posterior spinal fixation device or dynamic spinal stabilization device or other orthopedic device includes an active agent-delivery component. The active agent-delivery component has an active agent impregnated therein or adsorbed thereon or otherwise contained therein and is configured to release the active agent locally after the device is implanted in a patient. One preferred type of implant in accordance with the invention is an implant for stabilizing a spinal motion segment that includes a spacer member positionable between adjacent spinous processes or transverse processes or other posterior spinal element, including an implanted anchor element.
