Disclosed are designs, methods and systems for manufacturing implants, implant components, features of implant components, and/or related tools using solid freeform fabrication or additive metals technologies.

Solid freeform fabrication of implant components

Methods and devices are disclosed relating improved articular models, implant components, and related guide tools and procedures. In addition, methods and devices are disclosed relating articular models, implant components, and/or related guide tools and procedures that include one or more features derived from patient-data, for example, images of the patient's joint. The data can be used to create a model for analyzing a patient's joint and to devise and evaluate a course of corrective action. The data also can be used to create patient-adapted implant components and related tools and procedures.

Patient-adapted and improved articular implants, designs and related guide tools

Disclosed herein are methods and devices for repairing a knee joint, including customizable and/or highly selectable implants and/or implant components for each patient to provide optimal fit and function.

Patient-specific and patient-engineered orthopedic implants

Standard or customized knee implant with asymmetric femoral component and tibial offset

Tibial implant and systems with variable slope

Methods and systems for retention and use of historical patient-specific information in selecting and/or designing patient-adapted articular repair systems are disclosed herein. Various embodiments include articular repair system components that are selected and/or designed based, at least in part, on both current patient-specific information and historical patient-specific information. According to certain embodiments, a method of making an implant component for intended treatment of a diseased or damaged joint of a patient is disclosed.

Historical patient-specific information for articular repair systems

Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for the automated design and manufacture of patient-specific/patient-matched orthopedic implants. While the embodiments described herein specifically pertain to unicompartmental resurfacing implants for the knee, the principles described are applicable to other types of knee implants (including, without limitation, other resurfacing implants and joint replacement implants) as well as implants for other joints and other patient-specific orthopedic applications.

Automated Systems for manufacturing patient-specific orthopedic implants and instrumentation

Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and tools for repairing an articular joint having a failed implant. The articular repair systems are customizable or highly selectable by or adaptable to individual patients and geared toward providing optimal fit and function. The surgical tools are designed to be customizable or highly selectable by or adaptable to individual patients to increase the speed, accuracy and simplicity of performing total or partial arthroplasty including revision surgeries.
