Publication number: 20230329795Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for generating a data set that geometrically defines a bone plate design is presented. A method implementation of this technique comprises visualizing, based on shape data of a bone, a bone model on a display device, deriving, responsive to a user interaction signal that is indicative of a user interaction relative to the bone model, plate design data representative of a plate-specific design property, and generating a data set that geometrically defines a bone plate design from at least the plate design data and one or more generic plate parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Jens Rueber, Reinhard Koehler

Patent number: 8617173Abstract: A system for virtually planning a size and position of a prosthetic implant for a bone on a patient includes a database containing pre-defined form factor information for a plurality of different implants and a circuit for obtaining surface shape information of the bone. The system further includes a circuit for defining baseline location parameters for an implant location in relation to a virtual representation of the bone based on the surface shape information and a circuit for assessing a fit calculation of each implant in relation to the virtual representation of the bone based on the form factor in formation and a plurality of fit factors at each of a plurality of incremental positions in relation to the bone. Still further, the system includes a circuit for selecting a best fit implant size and position from all of the fit calculations.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Stryker Leibinger GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Stuart L. Axelson, Jr., Jens Rueber, Jose Luis Moctezuma de la Barrera, Peter Zimmermann

Patent number: 7309339Abstract: An apparatus for aligning a cutting instrument during a surgical procedure includes a guide having an elongated slot adapted to receive a cutting instrument for resecting a patient's bone during the surgical procedure. The apparatus includes a translational assembly and first and second rotational assemblies. The translational assembly is coupled to a housing adapted for effecting distal-proximal adjustment of the guide. The first rotational assembly is also coupled to the housing adapted for effecting varus-valgus adjustment of the guide. The first rotational assembly is releasably coupled to the guide. The second rotational assembly is also coupled to the guide and adapted for effecting flexon-extension adjustment of the guide.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Michael J. Cusick, Jens RĂ¼ber
