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.
Claims12
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;
- creating a corrected model by modifying at least a portion of the first model to account for deformity present in the joint;
- performing a shape search of a case database of pre-existing implant designs;
- selecting an original implant design from the case database of pre-existing implant designs that is a best fit with the corrected model;
- creating a modified implant design by modifying the original implant design to improve fit with the corrected model;
- designing a personalized jig based, at least in part, on the first model;
- manufacturing the personalized jig;
- providing an implant based on the modified implant design;
- and
- packaging the personalized jig with the implant.
