Abstract
A method for planning an arthroplasty procedure on a patient bone. The method may include accessing generic bone data stored in a memory of a computer, using the computer to generate modified bone data by modifying the generic bone data according to medical imaging data of the patient bone, using the computer to derive a location of non-bone tissue data relative to the modified bone data, and superimposing implant data and the modified bone data in defining a resection of an arthroplasty target region of the patient bone.
Claims20
A natural alignment knee replacement analysis computing device comprising memory comprising programmed instructions and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to be capable of executing the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
- obtain implant data for a selected implant;
- generate bone data for a patient femur, wherein the bone data comprises:
- data pertaining to a healthy region of the patient femur and an arthritic region of the patient femur;
- and an angle defined in a coronal view of the patient femur between a knee joint line and an axis extending along a femoral shaft of the patient femur;
- generate resection data based at least in part on the implant data and the bone data;
- and
- output a recommended three-dimensional knee replacement surgery plan for the patient femur comprising the resection data for facilitating implantation of the selected implant on the patient femur.
