Abstract
A method for designing a patient-specific implant includes obtaining image data of a region of interest of the spine of a patient, measuring one or more geometric characteristic of the region of interest from the image data, comparing a measurement obtained for at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics to a mathematical rule associated with the particular geometric characteristic, and generating three-dimensional implant geometry data if the measurement of the at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics conforms with the associated mathematical rule, the implant geometry data configured to guide an additive manufacturing operation.

A computer-implemented method for designing a patient-specific implant, comprising:
- measuring, from a model of patient spinal anatomy that includes a proposed surgical correction to the patient spinal anatomy, one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy associated with the proposed surgical correction;
- comparing a measured value of at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics to one or more criteria associated with the at least one geometric characteristic;
- in response to the measured value meeting the one or more criteria based on the comparison, generating implant geometry data based at least in part on the model and/or the measured value, wherein the implant geometry data includes a three-dimensional geometry of a patient-specific implant;
- in response to the measured value not meeting the one or more criteria based on the comparison, requesting an adjustment to the proposed surgical correction to patient spinal anatomy such that the at least one geometric characteristic meets the one or more criteria before generating the implant geometry data;
- and
- causing a manufacturing system to manufacture the patient-specific implant based on the implant geometry data.
A method for designing a patient-specific implant, comprising:
- measuring, from a model of patient spinal anatomy that includes a proposed surgical correction to the patient spinal anatomy, one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy associated with the proposed surgical correction;
- determining whether a measurement obtained for at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy meets one or more criteria associated with the at least one geometric characteristic;
- generating three-dimensional implant geometry data based at least in part on the model and in response to the measurement of the at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics meeting the one or more criteria;
- and
- causing a manufacturing system to manufacture the patient-specific implant based on the implant geometry data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- measuring, from a model of patient spinal anatomy that includes a proposed surgical correction to the patient spinal anatomy, one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy associated with the proposed surgical correction;
- comparing a measured value of at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics to one or more criteria associated with the at least one geometric characteristic;
- in response to the measured value meeting the one or more criteria based on the comparison, generating implant geometry data based at least in part on the model and/or the measured value, wherein the implant geometry data includes a three-dimensional geometry of a patient-specific implant;
- in response to the measured value not meeting the one or more criteria based on the comparison, requesting an adjustment to the proposed surgical correction to patient spinal anatomy such that the at least one geometric characteristic meets the one or more criteria before generating the implant geometry data;
- and
- causing a manufacturing system to manufacture the patient-specific implant based on the implant geometry data.
A system for designing a patient-specific implant, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one non-transitory computer memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:
- measuring, from a model of patient spinal anatomy that includes a proposed surgical correction to the patient spinal anatomy, one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy associated with the proposed surgical correction,
- determining whether a measurement obtained for at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics of the patient spinal anatomy meets one or more criteria associated with the at least one geometric characteristic, and
- generating three-dimensional implant geometry data based at least in part on the model and in response to the measurement of the at least one of the one or more geometric characteristics meeting the one or more criteria;
- and
- a manufacturing system configured to manufacture the patient-specific implant using the implant geometry data.
