According to an aspect, a preoperative planning method for a high-tibial knee osteotomy procedure is provided. The method includes: a) constructing a 3D model of a patient's bones; b) analyzing the 3D model to select a desired correction angle to apply to the patient's tibia bone to adjust a mechanical axis thereof; c) determining surgical steps required to apply the desired correction angle to the patient's tibia bone; d) designing a patient-specific guide to guide generic surgical tools in performing the surgical steps, the patient-specific guide being designed to conform to the anatomy of the patient's bones based on the 3D model; and e) manufacturing the patient-specific guide designed in step d). A corresponding kit, system and computer readable medium for performing the method are also provided.
A preoperative planning method for a high-tibial knee osteotomy procedure, the method comprising:
A computer system configured to:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to perform the steps of:
A surgical kit for performing a high-tibial knee osteotomy, the surgical kit comprising a plurality of generic tools, and at least one patient-specific guide configured to cooperate with the generic tools to guide the same in performing steps of the high-tibial knee osteotomy procedure as determined according to a preoperative plan.
