Publication number: 20210093458Abstract: A process for printing a talus implant comprising the steps of scanning a joint for a damaged talus, and scanning a contralateral joint for a healthy talus. Next, the process includes obtaining dimensions for a talus based upon an initial scan and then obtaining dimensions for a talus based upon the scan of the contralateral joint. Next the process includes inverting the dimensions of the talus in the contralateral joint and then comparing the dimensions of the calculated talus with a pre-set of dimensions in a database. Next the process includes exporting a set of dimensions to a printer to print a talus implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: ADDITIVE ORTHOPAEDICS, LLCInventors: Gregory J. KOWALCZYK, Selene G. PAREKH, Luciano Bernardino BERTOLOTTI
