Abstract: A method for manufacturing an implant can include receiving at a computing device, patient specific data related to a bone of a patient and implant data related to an implant for the patient, and determining, by the computing device, optimal design parameters for the implant for the patient using the patient specific data and a machine learning model. The method can also include exporting, by the computing device, the optimal design parameters to a manufacturing device of systems for manufacturing the implant. The optimal design parameters can provide for a non-solid implant construction in regions of lower stress within the bone of the patient and a solid implant construction in regions for higher stress within the bone of the patient to bring stress distributions closer to those experienced in a non-implanted bone to, in turn, reduce the likelihood of bone resorption and peri-prosthetic fractures after implantation of the implant.
