Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method on a processor customizes a fixation plate for repairing a bone fracture. A digital CAD model of an implant contains smooth analytic geometry representations including NURBS. The CAD geometry is directly manipulated to generate a customized implant CAD model that conforms to the desired region of the bone surface of a patient. Direct manipulation of NURBS geometry is computationally fast and suitable for interactive planning. The patient specific customized implant is produced directly from the generated customized CAD model with a standard CNC machine before surgery. The patient customized implant is implanted in the patient.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for creating a customized medical implant, comprising a processor: receiving a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of a medical implant; converting a three dimensional medical image of a bone of patient, to an image of polygonal meshes; computing a guide curve on the image of polygonal meshes of the bone; registering the CAD model to an initial location on the image of the polygonal meshes of the bone; deforming the CAD model in accordan…
