Abstract
A method for designing a patient-specific implant is provided. The method includes the steps of obtaining a 3D model of at least an articulation portion of a patient's bone, virtually cutting the articulation portion of the 3D model of the patient's bone for defining a resected bone surface having a resected surface area, selecting an implant from a library of standard implants based on the 3D model, virtually engaging the bone-contacting surface of the selected implant with the resected bone surface, designing an implant peripheral portion configured to extend from the selected implant and conform to the 3D model and virtually combining the selected implant and designed implant perimeter to create a 3D model of the patient-specific implant.
