Surgical Planning Associates (SPA) released new surgical planning software to support the HipInsight patient-specific mixed reality guidance system for total hip arthroplasty.
HipInsight is a mixed-reality solution that gives hip surgeons “x-ray vision” as they perform joint surgery. The software is the first release that includes components manufactured by Zimmer Biomet as part of its exclusive multi-year co-marketing agreement with SPA.
With HipInsight, the surgeon wears a MicroSoft Hololens2 head-mounted device to visualize a patient’s bony anatomy during surgery, as well as implants and surgical instruments directly inside and around the patient’s body. This obviates the need to look away from the patient during component implantation to see information the way that older technologies require.
“Surgeons now have detailed knowledge of what they plan to do and the visualization tools in surgery to accomplish those goals,” said Dr. Stephen B. Murphy, founder of SPA. “Our new relationship with Zimmer-Biomet represents our combined commitment to elevate the level of care for each patient.”
