  • Patent number: 11648015
    Abstract: Systems (100, 900, 1100), devices, and methods may be used to print or use a patient-specific waterjet cut guide (104, 302, 902, 1102). A method may include receiving, at a processor, image data of a bone (102, 308) of a patient (702), rendering a model of the bone (102, 308) (704) and generating a cut guide model using the model of the bone (102, 308) (706). The method may include printing, using a three-dimensional (3D) printer, a waterjet cut guide (104, 302, 902, 1102) using the cut guide model. A method may include using the patient-specific waterjet cut guide (104, 302, 902, 1102) to perform a resection using a waterjet cutting device, the waterjet cutting device including a nozzle (108, 306, 406, 500A, 500B) insertable into a cut guide slot (106B, 304, 310, 906, 1104) of the patient-specific waterjet cut guide (104, 302, 902, 1102).
