Abstract

A method of producing a customized tibial resection guide locator comprising: mapping a contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto a digital model of a resection guide locator to create a digital model of a customized resection guide locator; and manufacturing the customized resection guide locator to include: a complementary surface of the proximal tibia, a wall having a shape that is complementary to an outer profile of a tibial resection guide such that a pocket is defined that is configured to receive the tibial resection guide therein.

Claims (41)

1. A method of producing a customized tibial resection guide locator comprising:

mapping a contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto a digital model of a resection guide locator using a processor to create a digital model of a customized resection guide locator; and

manufacturing the customized resection guide locator such that the customized resection guide locator includes:

a complementary surface of the proximal tibia,

a wall having a shape that is complementary to an outer profile of a tibial resection guide such that a pocket is defined that is sized and configured to receive the tibial resection guide therein,

wherein a first elongate slot and at least one first hole are defined within the pocket, the first elongate slot and the at least one first hole are positioned within the pocket such that the first elongate slot aligns with a second elongate slot defined by the resection guide and the at least one first hole aligns with at least one second hole defined by the resection guide when the resection guide is received within the pocket of the customized resection guide locator.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring an anatomically accurate image of the proximal tibia by scanning said proximal tibia of a patient in two scans, wherein between the scans the patient is moved in order to reposition a coil of an imaging apparatus to cover a most proximal or a most distal region of the proximal tibia;

converting the anatomically accurate image to a digital model of the proximal tibia.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein mapping the contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto the digital model of the resection guide locator includes applying the digital model of the resection guide locator to a surface of the digital model of the proximal tibia.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resection guide locator is manufactured using stereo lithography.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resection guide locator is manufactured using laser sintering.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first hole does not intersect the first elongate slot.

7. A method of producing a customized tibial resection guide locator comprising:

mapping a contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto a digital model of a resection guide locator using a processor to create a digital model of a customized resection guide locator; and

manufacturing the customized resection guide locator using stereo lithography such that the customized resection guide locator includes:

a complementary surface of the proximal tibia,

a wall having a shape that is complementary to an outer profile of a tibial resection guide such that a pocket is defined that is sized and configured to receive the tibial resection guide therein,

wherein a first elongate slot and at least one first hole are defined within the pocket, the first elongate slot and the at least one first hole are positioned within the pocket such that the first elongate slot aligns with a second elongate slot defined by the resection guide and the at least one first hole aligns with at least one second hole defined by the resection guide when the resection guide is received within the pocket of the customized resection guide locator.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

acquiring an anatomically accurate image of the proximal tibia by scanning said proximal tibia of a patient in two scans, wherein between the scans the patient is moved in order to reposition a coil of an imaging apparatus to cover a most proximal or a most distal region of the proximal tibia;

converting the anatomically accurate image to a digital model of the proximal tibia.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein mapping the contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto the digital model of the resection guide locator includes applying the digital model of the resection guide locator to a surface of the digital model of the proximal tibia.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein scanning said proximal tibia in two scans includes applying a pulse sequence to the coil of the imaging apparatus of at least one of a FATSEP 3D RSSG and a 2D T1 FSE.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein scanning the proximal tibia in two scans includes preforming at least one of the two scans with an acquisition time of at least one of 5:45 (min:sec) and 15:37 (min:sec).

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first hole does not intersect the first elongate slot.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pocket of the customized resection guide locator is sized to receive the tibial resection guide with a press fit.

14. A method of producing a customized tibial resection guide locator comprising:

mapping a contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto a digital model of a resection guide locator using a processor to create a digital model of a customized resection guide locator; and

manufacturing the customized resection guide locator using laser sintering such that the customized resection guide locator includes:

a complementary surface of the proximal tibia,

a wall having a shape that is complementary to an outer profile of a tibial resection guide such that a pocket is defined that is sized and configured to receive the tibial resection guide therein,

wherein a first elongate slot and at least one first hole are defined within the pocket, the first elongate slot and the at least one first hole are positioned within the pocket such that the first elongate slot aligns with a second elongate slot defined by the resection guide and the at least one first hole aligns with at least one second hole defined by the resection guide when the resection guide is received within the pocket of the customized resection guide locator.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

acquiring an anatomically accurate image of the proximal tibia by scanning said proximal tibia of a patient in two scans, wherein between the scans the patient is moved in order to reposition a coil of an imaging apparatus to cover a most proximal or a most distal region of the proximal tibia;

converting the anatomically accurate image to a digital model of the proximal tibia.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein mapping the contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto the digital model of the resection guide locator includes applying the digital model of the resection guide locator to a surface of the digital model of the proximal tibia.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein scanning said proximal tibia in two scans includes applying a pulse sequence to the coil of the imaging apparatus of at least one of a FATSEP 3D RSSG and a 2D T1 FSE.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein scanning the proximal tibia in two scans includes preforming at least one of the two scans with an acquisition time of at least one of 5:45 (min:sec) and 15:37 (min:sec).

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one first hole does not intersect the first elongate slot.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the pocket of the customized resection guide locator is sized to receive the tibial resection guide with a press fit.
