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.

Claims (19)

1. 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.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing includes modifying the original implant design to improve fit with the first model.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing includes modifying the original implant design based, at least in part, on the refined model.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the implant is based on the original implant design without modification.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the select local portion of the patient-specific image data is a subset of the at least a portion of the patient-specific image data upon which the first segmentation was performed.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving preoperative patient-specific ligament information;

performing a multibody simulation based, at least in part, on the selected original implant design and the patient-specific ligament information.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein providing includes modifying the original implant design based on results from the multibody simulation.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the implant is based on the original implant design without modification.
