A system and computer-implemented method for manufacturing an orthopedic implant involves analyzing tissue characteristics based on image data of anatomy. Image data of a patient can be analyzed to identify at least one tissue characteristic at different locations along anatomic elements of anatomy of interest. A patient-specific implant configuration can be determined based on the analysis of the image data of a patient.

Systems and methods for designing orthopedic implants based on tissue characteristics

An interbody implant system for use in the spine includes a base comprising two or more bone contacting surfaces, at least one recess in at least one of the two or more bone contacting surfaces, the recess configured for containing a tooth, a deployable tooth to provide fixation between the base and the anatomy of a subject, a break-away bridge between the tooth and the base for providing a first relative position between the tooth and the base, and a locking mechanism for providing a second relative position between the tooth and the base.

Systems and methods for orthopedic implant fixation

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. The surgical procedure or medical device design can be generated based at least partially on one or more parameters associated with a reduced risk of one or more post-operative conditions.

Spinal implants and surgical procedures with reduced subsidence, and associated systems and methods

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.

Patient-specific medical systems, devices, and methods

The present application describes computer apparatus and software programs useful to the field of corrective spinal surgery. The apparatus and software implement and facilitate methods for assessing the degree of balance and alignment achieved through corrective measures applied to the spine prior to completing a surgical procedure. The apparatus and software facilitate pre-operative planning and virtual testing of the corrective measures to be applied. The apparatus and software further facilitate intra-operative reconciliation with the pre-operative plan prior to completing the surgery.

Spinal balance assessment

This application describes surgical instruments and implants for building a posterior fixation construct across one or more segments of the spinal column during a medialized posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) procedure.

Systems and methods for performing spine surgery

Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving intra-operative data during a surgical procedure to install a patient-specific implant in a patient. The system can compare the intra-operative data to a pre-operative plan to determine whether the implant is positioned and located according to the pre-operative plan.

Patient-specific implant design and manufacturing system with a surgical implant positioning manager

A computer-implemented method for designing a patient-specific orthopedic implant can include creating a user account associated with a patient. A patient-specific orthopedic implant can be designed based on patient data and imaging data. A healthcare provider can provide feedback for a design of the patient-specific orthopedic implant, treatment protocol, or other aspects of treatment. The patient can provide data and feedback.

Systems and methods for orthopedic implants

A personalized fixation system includes a surgical planning software tool configured to adjust relationships of relevant anatomy of a subject, at least one bone anchor, a plate having a shape that does not conform to a single plane, the plate configured to accept the at least one bone anchor, wherein the shape of the plate is at least partially determined by the surgical planning software tool, and wherein the plate includes at least one node having a hole configured to receive the at least one bone anchor, and a locking element configured to connect the at least one bone anchor to the plate, wherein the plate is manufactured using additive manufacturing.

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.

This disclosure describes example embodiments of rod reduction instrumentation and other rod and vertebrae manipulation instruments. The rod reducers can be used during the installation of a rod based surgical fixation system to help urge the rod into the fixation anchors. The reducers described provide various configurations delivering large reduction distance capabilities, strong controlled reduction coupled with an ability to quickly advance the reducer if desired, and reduction of bulk through the surgical corridor.

Rod reduction assemblies and related methods

Systems and methods for modeling anatomical changes in a patient after installation of a patient-specific implant are disclosed. The system can model changes to a thoracic spine based on changes to the lumbar spine in a patient. The system can calculate and display reciprocal changes to nearby anatomy due to correction of index anatomy. For example, the system models the anatomical changes to the thoracic and cervical spines based on corrections to the lumbar spine.

System for modeling patient spinal changes

Systems and methods for designing patient-specific medical devices are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining patient data that includes image data and kinematic data of a patient's spine. A virtual model of the patient's spine is generated and can be manipulated until a target anatomical configuration is achieved. A patient-specific implant can then be designed based at least in part on the target anatomical configuration and the kinematics such that, when the patient-specific implant is implanted in the patient, the patient-specific implant provides the target anatomical correction while maintaining or improving the kinematics of the patient's spine.

Kinematic data-based patient-specific artificial discs, implants and associated systems and methods

Systems and methods for storing and accessing healthcare data in blockchain managed digital filing cabinets are disclosed. The system can receive and store patient healthcare data from sources such as wearable devices, an implant, patient devices, healthcare provider devices, databases, cloud storage accounts, healthcare databases, or digital filing cabinets. The system can convert the healthcare into non-fungible tokens on a blockchain to protect the healthcare data from being accessed by nefarious actors. The system can manage access to the healthcare data based on authentication rules.
