Customized surgical guide for guiding a bone implant to a predetermined location on the bone during a surgical procedure, wherein the guide comprises a body comprising at least one implant contacting surface and at least one patient specific bone contacting surface, wherein the implant contacting surface is arranged to contact the implant for ensuring a unique and stable fit between the guide and the implant, and wherein the bone contacting surface is arranged to contact the bone for ensuring a unique and stable fit of a combination of the guide and the implant on the predetermined location on the bone.

Customized surgical guide

The invention relates to surgical guides which are of use during reconstructive bone surgery for guiding a surgical instrument or tool. More particularly, the guides are characterized in that they are fitted to the implant rather than to the bone.

Customized surgical guides, methods for manufacturing and uses thereof

The application provides patient-specific surgical guides for positioning onto a glenoid of a patient, comprising two or more patient-specific positioning elements, each comprising a patient-specific surface which conforms with at least part of one or more features of the bone on or around the glenoid, and wherein the combination of these patient-specific positioning elements ensures a secure fit of the device when positioned onto the bone.

Shoulder guides

An orthopedic apparatus includes an alignment guide attachable to one of a femoral joint surface of a femur of a patient. The alignment guide has a patient-specific three-dimensional engagement surface, and at least one guiding portion defining a guiding passage. The engagement surface anatomically matches a corresponding portion of the femoral joint surface.

Patient-specific alignment guide

The present invention provides surgical guiding tools for surgery on a bone head comprising a cutting component, a guiding component and a collar comprising a patient-specific component, which are interconnected and which ensure secure and accurate placement of the guiding tool and thus guarantee accurate implementation of the pre-operative planning of the surgical intervention.
