Provided herein are methods, system, and devices for method of making one or more surgical guides and implants comprising: obtaining or having obtained one or more three-dimensional (3-D) image file(s) of an ankle, a foot, or both; generating a surgical plan and hardware dataset; using the surgical plan and hardware dataset to 3-D print or mill one or more surgical guides: opening(s) for inserting a bone screw(s) or pin(s); slots for drilling or cutting bone; slot(s) along an edge of the surgical guide(s) for aligning the surgical guide(s) for receiving a bone screw or pin; a surface that is contoured to match a surface of a target bone; indicia or predictive hole feature(s) for marking or aligning the surgical guide(s) to a bone or for marking a designation for the guide(s).
A method of making one or more surgical guides and implants, or a one or more surgical guides and implants made by a method, comprising:
The method of claim, further comprising 3-D printing or milling one or more surgical inserts using the surgical guide dataset;
The method of claim, wherein the one or more images comprise at least one of:
The method of claim, wherein at least one of:
The method of claim, further comprising 3-D printing one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones using the three-dimensional (3-D) image file of an ankle, a foot, or both.
The method of claim, wherein the interactive surgery planning tool can be used remotely to generate the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or the one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones.
A system for making one or more surgical guides and implants comprising:
The system of claim, further comprising 3-D printing or milling one or more surgical inserts using the surgical guide dataset;
The system of claim, wherein the one or more images comprise at least one of:
The system of claim, wherein at least one of:
The system of claim, further comprising 3-D printing one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones using the three-dimensional (3-D) image file of an ankle, a foot, or both.
The system of claim, wherein the interactive surgery planning tool can be used remotely to generate the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or the one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, causes an apparatus to print or mill one or more surgical guides, one or more surgical implants, or both, comprising:
The computer-readable storage medium of claim, further comprising providing a step-by-step guide for the use of the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or both, wherein the step-by-step guide is printed, electronic, or displayed as a 3-D rendering.
The computer-readable storage medium of claim, wherein the one or more images comprise at least one of:
The computer-readable storage medium of claim, wherein at least one of:
The computer-readable storage method of claim, further comprising 3-D printing one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones using the three-dimensional (3-D) image file of an ankle, a foot, or both.
The computer-readable storage method of claim, wherein the interactive surgery planning tool can be used remotely to generate the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or the one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for 3-D printing or milling one or more surgical guides, one or more surgical implants, or both, comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a computer having a communications interface, one or more databases and one or more processors communicably coupled to the interface and one or more databases, perform the steps comprising:
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim, further comprising providing a step-by-step guide for the use of the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or both;
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim, wherein the one or more images comprise at least one of:
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim, wherein at least one of:
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim, further comprising 3-D printing one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones using the three-dimensional (3-D) image file of an ankle, a foot, or both.
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim, wherein the interactive surgery planning tool can be used remotely to generate the one or more surgical guides, the one or more surgical inserts, or the one or more anatomical models of the one or more bones.
