APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND INSTRUMENTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008880 titled 'APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND INSTRUMENTATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus, system, and method for treating a medical condition in a patient. The apparatus includes a resection guide with various features to guide a cutting tool in performing a surgical procedure on a bone. The resection guide is designed based on user directions and a bone model created from medical imaging of the patient's foot. The guide also includes a bone attachment feature to secure it to the bone.

  • The apparatus is designed to guide a cutting tool in performing a surgical procedure on a bone.
  • The resection guide has various sides and features to ensure accurate and precise cutting.
  • The first osteotomy is performed based on user directions and a bone model created from medical imaging.
  • The bone attachment feature securely holds the resection guide in place during the procedure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Foot and ankle surgery

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a precise and accurate method for performing surgical procedures on bones.
  • Allows surgeons to follow user directions and bone models for consistent results.
  • Provides a secure attachment of the resection guide to the bone for stability during the procedure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved surgical outcomes with precise and accurate cuts.
  • Consistency in surgical procedures based on user directions and bone models.
  • Enhanced stability during the procedure with secure bone attachment.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for remediating a condition present in a patient. in some implementations, the apparatus may include a resection guide having: a body having an anterior side, a posterior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a superior side, and an inferior side. the resection guide also includes a first resection feature configured to guide a cutting tool to form a first osteotomy in a first bone. the first osteotomy is defined based at least partially on user directions and at least partially on a bone model of at least a portion of the first bone. the bone model is based on medical imaging of a patient's foot. the resection guide includes bone attachment feature configured to secure the resection guide to the first bone.
