Advita Ortho, a global medical technology company, has been granted a U.S. patent for an AI-enabled surgical planning framework designed to help surgeons focus on the clinical factors that matter most during joint replacement procedures. The patented approach outlines a weight-based algorithm to prioritize variables in surgical planning, aiming to provide more consistent and personalized decision-making.

Why it matters

Joint replacement planning involves assessing many factors, and as personalized approaches become more prevalent, the number of variables continues to increase, making decision-making more complex. Advita's patented technology aims to support surgeons by establishing a framework for how different factors may be balanced based on patient anatomy and surgeon preference, leading to more consistent and personalized surgical planning.

The details

Advita's patented approach outlines a weight-based algorithm to help prioritize variables in surgical planning, rather than treating all parameters equally. By establishing a framework for how different factors may be balanced based on patient anatomy and the surgeon preference, the patent defines a pathway toward more consistent planning decisions aligned with individual surgical philosophies. Over time, this framework is designed to learn from previous cases and refine its recommendations as more data becomes available.

  • The U.S. patent, #12,544,141, was granted to Advita Ortho on February 9, 2026.
