  • Publication number: 20230024340
    Abstract: A system and method to receive a request for a patient-specific surgical plan, create the requested plan, and provide it to a surgeon is disclosed. A Planning server may receive patient-specific information and statistical information, and an order from a surgeon for a surgical plan. A Plan Development client may include a surgical planning module that may create an electronic surgical plan based on the patient-specific information and the statistical information, and may transmit the plan to the Planning server. The ordering surgeon may be notified of the availability of the plan, and may access the plan stored at the Planning server through a surgeon client. The ordering surgeon may utilize the remotely generated surgical plan during the surgical procedure on the patient.

  • Patent number: 11482316
    Abstract: A system and method to receive a request for a patient-specific surgical plan, create the requested plan, and provide it to a surgeon is disclosed. A Planning server may receive information regarding a patient, such as one or more files or objects, and an order from a surgeon for a surgical plan. A Plan Development client may include a surgical planning module that accesses the one or more files or objects, and creates a computer-generated, three-dimensional model of the patient anatomy. The planning module of the Plan Development client also may create an electronic surgical plan, and may transmit the plan to the Planning server. The ordering surgeon may be notified of the availability of the plan, and may access the plan stored at the Planning server through a surgeon client. The ordering surgeon may utilize the remotely generated surgical plan during the surgical procedure on the patient.

  • Publication number: 20130018666
    Abstract: A system and method receive a request for a patient-specific surgical plan, create the requested plan, and provide it to a surgeon. A Planning server may receive information regarding a patient, such as one or more files or objects, such as an image of the part of the patient's anatomy that is to be operated on, and an order from a surgeon for a surgical plan. A Plan Development client may include a surgical planning module that accesses the digital image from the Planning Server, and creates a computer-generated, three-dimensional model of the patient anatomy. The planning module of the Plan Development client also may create an electronic surgical plan, and may transmit the plan to the Planning server. The ordering surgeon may be notified of the availability of the plan, and may access the plan stored at the Planning server through a surgeon client. The ordering surgeon may utilize the remotely generated surgical plan during the surgical procedure on the patient.
