Abstract
A bone part is repaired by a process. A first implant is attached to a first bone part. The first implant corresponds to an intraoperatively defined or an intraoperatively selected cutting path. A preoperatively defined second implant is attached to the first implant. The first implant and the second implant together augment the first bone part.
Claims19
A system for repairing a bone part, comprising:
- a cutting path data file;
- an implant data file;
- a first implant corresponding to an intraoperatively defined cutting path that is stored in the cutting path data file;
- and
- a second implant that is preoperatively defined and attached to the first implant,
- wherein the first implant is at least partially fabricated intraoperatively from the implant data file prepared using the cutting path data file, and
- wherein the first implant is attached to a first bone part such that the first and the second implants together augment the first bone part.
