The plate can include a first projection having a first contact surface with a first topography designed to mate with a corresponding first surface of a first vertebral body, and a second projection having a second contact surface with second topography designed to mate with a corresponding second surface of a second vertebral body. The first topography can be different than the second topography. In some embodiments, the first and/or second projection can be configured to contact, and have topographies designed to mate, with a plurality of surfaces, such as two adjacent surfaces, of the respective first and second vertebral bodies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes selecting a design process protocol for designing a patient-specific implant system based on a target correction for a patient. The patient-specific implant system can select a set of parameters for designing each component of the patient-specific implant system based on patient anatomy and the correction for the patient. An implant designer graphical user interface (GUI) can display the set of parameters for the design process protocol, values for the respective parameters, and a planned anatomy of the patient. The patient-specific implant system can generate a design for a group of patient-specific implants such that the patient-specific implants cooperate to provide anatomical correction to the patient based on the target anatomical correction.

Based on the determined authentication level of the user requesting access to the implant data, the system can permit the user to access some or all of the implant data. The system can perform a quality check on a manufactured implant by scanning the manufactured implant to identify any errors in the manufactured implant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system automatically measures and analyzes one or more parameters from images of the human to, for example, assist with diagnosis and/or treatment. The automated measurements can measure parameters between patients and/or physicians to generate historical data suitable for training machine learning systems. Pre-operative images can be analyzed to determine spinal-pelvic parameters for diagnosing patients, generating treatment plans, and/or assessing efficacy of treatment. Intra-operative images can be analyzed to determine spinal-pelvic parameters for interoperative simulations.

Abstract: The present technology provides patient-specific vertebral implants. The implants can include a cage having a geometry contoured to mate with an inferior surface of a superior vertebra and a superior surface of an inferior vertebra at a first target position. The implants can also include a plate having a geometry contoured to mate with an identified anatomical structure at a second target position. The cage and plate can be coupled in a predetermined three-dimensional orientation that simultaneously permits the cage to occupy the first target position and the plate to occupy the second target position when the implant is implanted.

Abstract: The present technology includes patient-specific spinal fusion devices, which may include an interbody implant that is designed to be positioned within a disc space between two vertebral bodies and one or more fixation elements that can anchor the interbody implant to the vertebral bodies. The fusion devices include one or more retention mechanisms for retaining the fixation elements within corresponding lumens or bore holes extending through the interbody implant. Methods for designing and manufacturing patient-specific spinal fusion devices are also described herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing patient-specific orthopedic implants. The systems and methods can include automated collection protocols for available third-party data to use to generate surgical plans or patient-specific orthopedic implant designs. The system can identify triggers for collecting third-party data. The system can determine a confidence score for the collected third-party data based on the type of data, the source of the data, and the similarity of the data to patient data. The system can select parameters in the third-party data to integrate into designing a patient-specific implant or patient treatment.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for manufacturing an orthopedic implant involves segmenting features in an image of anatomy. Anatomic elements can be isolated. Spatial relationships between the isolated anatomic elements can be manipulated. Negative space between anatomic elements is mapped before and/or after manipulating the spatial relationships. At least a portion of the negative space can be filled with a virtual implant. The virtual implant can be used to design and manufacture a physical implant.
