  • Patent number: 12285220
    Abstract: A system and method for planning and simulating a surgical operation to create a patient-specific spinal implant are disclosed. The system comprises a remote server configured to receive patient-specific medical image data and generate a 3D mesh model of the patient's spine using algorithms that separate vertebral bodies, remove artifacts, and smooth surfaces. A doctor's computer receives the 3D mesh model and allows real-time manipulation of intervertebral spaces to achieve a desired spinal curvature. The server generates a spinal implant design with surface-mapped endplates matching the patient's vertebral anatomy, which is transmitted to a 3D printer for manufacturing. The method includes steps of receiving image data, generating and updating the 3D mesh model based on doctor input, generating the final implant design, and transmitting it for production. The invention enables the creation of patient-specific spinal implants with improved conformity and surgical outcomes.

  • Patent number: 12102544
    Abstract: An artificial replacement disk configured to be positioned in between a superior vertebrae and an inferior vertebrae. The upper and lower surfaces match the surface morphologies of the corresponding vertebrae and may be textured to promote bone in-growth. The artificial replacement disk may comprise gripping structures to permit easy manipulation of the artificial replacement disk during surgical procedures.

  • Patent number: 11666451
    Abstract: An artificial replacement disk assembly comprised of a core in between two endplates. The endplates have outer surfaces that match the surface morphologies of the corresponding vertebral endplates. The endplates may have textured inner surface to form a strong fusion with the core during the fabrication process. The thick solid endplates strongly fused to the core create a very resilient implant. Gripping structures on the endplates may permit easy manipulation of the assembly during surgical procedures.
