By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A patent application by the inventors AIT SI SELMI, Tarik (Lyon, FR); BLEUNVEN, Blaise (Paris, FR); BONNIN, Michel (Ly on, FR); CAHEN, Sophie (Paris, FR); DECROUEZ, Marion (Sevres, FR); LOY RODAS, Ni colas (Puteaux, FR); MOULIN, Cyril (Argonay, FR), filed on November 27, 2023, wa s made available online on March 14, 2024, according to news reporting originati ng from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to Ganymed Robotics (Paris, France). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "A first family of mechanical guide solutions fo r machining tools for bone cutting is known from the state of the art. Patent FR 3033691 describes a device for the preparation of bone cuts for the establishmen t of a knee prosthesis without conservation of the cruciate ligaments, comprisin g a femoral cutting guide and a tibial cutting guide made to measure. Said devic e is based on scan data of the patient's joint which is transmitted to a plannin g software. Each guide has supporting means on the distal femoral epiphysis and on the proximal tibia I epiphysis, in two substantially orthogonal planes, and a rrangements for the passage of drill guides, and at least one cutting blade. Acc ording to this solution, the cutting planes are determined digitally in the femu r and tibia reference systems. These cutting planes then determine the configura tion of the two guides, which are used after being firmly attached to the bone t o be machined. It is necessary to screw the guide to the bone to allow effective guidance of the tool. This solution is very invasive due to the requirement of mechanical coupling of the bone with the guide, and requires the manufacture of a specific guide for each operation. Such a solution also leads the surgeon to s pend a lot of time to mechanically couple the bone with the guide in several suc cessive positions to perform the various cuts.
