  • Publication number: 20240138991
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying the quality of patient specific implants are disclosed. A system can generate implant data, such as design files or fabrication instructions, for manufacturing the implant. The system can manage access to the implant data based on authentication levels. 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.

  • Publication number: 20240079114
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a patient data set of a patient. The patient data set is compared to a plurality of reference patient data sets, wherein each of the plurality of reference patient data sets is associated with a corresponding reference patient. A subset of the plurality of reference patient data sets is selected based, at least partly, on similarity to the patient data set and treatment outcome of the corresponding reference patient. Based on the selected subset, at least one surgical procedure or medical device design for treating the patient is generated.

  • Publication number: 20240016614
    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.

  • Patent number: 11793577
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining, first multi-dimensional image data of an anatomical region of a patient in a first loading state; determining, from the first multi-dimensional image data, regions corresponding to anatomic elements of a spine; identifying, in each region, a first set landmarks; obtaining, a second multi-dimensional image data of the anatomical region comprising the spine of the patient in a second loading state; identifying a second set of landmarks from the second multi-dimensional image data that map to the first set of landmarks; obtaining an aligned multi-dimensional image data of the patient's spine; generating a design for a medical implant based on spinopelvic parameters measured from the aligned multi-dimensional image data; and causing a medical implant to be manufactured by sending the design for the medical implement to a manufacturing device.

  • Publication number: 20230298728
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing patient-specific medical devices and patient-specific surgical plans are described herein. In some embodiments, a patient-specific implant is provided that includes an implant body configured to interface with one or more identified anatomical structures at and/or proximate a target position. The patient-specific implant also includes a data storage element positioned on and/or within the implant body. The data storage element can include memory storing data that is accessible after the patient-specific implant is implanted in the patient. The data can include (i) first data specifying at least one step of a patient-specific surgical plan for implanting the patient-specific implant at the target position, and (ii) second data specifying one or more characteristics of the patient-specific implant.
