Patient-matched orthopedic implant

A system for designing a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store a model of a bone of a patient;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain the model of the bone of the patient;
• obtain a template model of an implant;
• determine a shape of a surface of the implant;
• determine a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone;
• generate, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model;
• and
• output a file representing the patient matched implant model.

A computer-implemented method for designing a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure, the method comprising:

• obtaining a model of the bone of the patient;
• obtaining a template model of an implant;
• determining a shape of a surface of the implant;
• determining a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone;
• generating, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model;
• and
• outputting a file representing the patient matched implant model.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to design a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more processors to design the patient matched implant comprise instructions that cause the one or more processors to:

• obtain a model of the bone of the patient;
• obtain a template model of an implant;
• determine a shape of a surface of the implant;
• determine a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone;
• generate, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model;
• and
• output a file representing the patient matched implant model.
