Content
Unfortunately, the fidelity and accuracy of these models is not as advanced with respect to the modeling of soft tissue of a patient such as sinews, skin, tendons, ligaments, muscles, fat, and the like. Thus, rehearsal of a surgical procedure, particularly one that includes translating and/or reorienting one or more bone fragments has limited benefit. In such cases, because the surgeon cannot predict or know beforehand how much movement and reorientation the soft tissue of a patient will permit, the surgeon needs to be able to revise or adapt a surgical procedure intraoperatively to achieve optimal outcomes. The system, apparatus, and methods of the present disclosure enable a surgeon to make intraoperative adjustments to surgical plan based on what the surgeon learns during the surgery.
