Patent number: 11974762Abstract: Jigs for guiding femur and tibia resectioning in knee surgery contain bone-jig contact surfaces and a cutting guide as a single unitary piece. Contact surfaces are curvilinear surfaces formed into ends of projections from a jig base. Each jig has three pairs of contact surfaces selected to abut low-wear, lateral and medial, articular surface features, such that only one self-locking position against the bone (or cartilage) is possible and the integral cutting guide will define only one cut plane for the resectioning. An improved rotational transformation that converts scan views into desired proper axes is based on projections of rotated coordinates onto the plane of rotation to produce parameters that closely correspond to the joint surfaces in the desired jig coordinates.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Lento Medical Inc.Inventor: Ilwhan Park
