Abstract: Drill alignment device (6) for use during the removal of bone cement (42) from a cavity (5) resulting from the removal of a cemented prosthetic device (3) from a long bone, such as a femur (2), during the revision of said prosthetic device, wherein the alignment device comprises an elongate body (61) having a size and shape for insertion in the cavity, wherein at least a part of the outer surface of said elongate body is complementary to the corresponding inner surface of said cavity, wherein the alignment device comprises a channel (7) extending through the elongate body between a proximal end (68) and a distal end (64) and wherein said channel is arranged and has a diameter suitable for receiving and guiding a reamer (8) arranged for removing bone cement in a distal part of said cavity

Abstract: Method for manufacturing an implantable bone augment arranged to at least partially fit in a bone defect in a bone of a patient, wherein the method comprises the steps of: —providing a three-dimensional model of at least a part of the bone of the patient comprising the bone defect; —designing the shape and size of an augment based on the three-dimensional model, wherein a bone contacting surface of the augment is formed complementary to a corresponding outer surface of the bone, in particular a surface of the bone defect; —designing the body of the augment having the designed shape and size and having a porous microstructure, wherein the step of designing further comprises providing reinforcements in said body based on predicted loading conditions of the implanted augment, and; —manufacturing the designed augment.

Abstract: An orthopedic apparatus includes an alignment guide attachable to one of a femoral joint surface of a femur of a patient. The alignment guide has a patient-specific three-dimensional engagement surface, and at least one guiding portion defining a guiding passage. The engagement surface anatomically matches a corresponding portion of the femoral joint surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides surgical guiding tools for surgery on a bone head comprising a cutting component, a guiding component and a collar comprising a patient-specific component, which are interconnected and which ensure secure and accurate placement of the guiding tool and thus guarantee accurate implementation of the pre-operative planning of the surgical intervention.
