Abstract
Patient-adapted articular repair systems, including implants, instruments, and surgical plans, and methods of making and using such systems, are disclosed herein. In particular, various embodiments include methods of selecting and/or designing patient-adapted surgical repair systems using parameterized models and/or multibody simulations.
Claims8
A method of producing a system for treatment of a joint of a patient, the system including an implant and a jig, the method comprising:
- receiving preoperative patient-specific image data of the joint;
- performing a first segmentation of at least a portion of the patient-specific image data to create a first model of one or more surfaces of the joint;
- performing a shape search of a case database of pre-existing implant designs;
- selecting the original implant design from the case database of pre-existing implant designs that is a best fit with the model;
- performing a second segmentation of a select local portion of the patient-specific image data to create a refined model of at least a portion of a surface of the joint;
- designing a personalized jig based, at least in part, on the refined model;
- manufacturing the personalized jig;
- providing an implant based on the original implant design;
- and
- packaging the personalized jig with the implant,
- wherein the joint is a knee joint.
