TECHNOLOGIES FOR DETERMINING SEATING OF AN ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT DURING AN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL PROCEDURE

摘要

Technologies for determining seating of an orthopaedic implant (104) during an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes an impaction sensor (500) and an impaction analyzer (502). The impaction sensor produces sensor data, in response to an impaction between an orthopaedic mallet (100) and a surgical tool (102) indicative of an initial impact and a secondary impact of the impaction. The impaction analyzer analyzes the sensor data to determine a temporal length (210) between the initial and secondary impacts and determines whether the orthopaedic implant is sufficiently seated into the bone based on the temporal length.
