CUSTOMIZED PATIENT-SPECIFIC 3D PRINTED POSITIONING AUGMENT FOR ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL IMPLANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041606 titled 'CUSTOMIZED PATIENT-SPECIFIC 3D PRINTED POSITIONING AUGMENT FOR ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL IMPLANT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an orthopaedic prosthetic component that includes a manufactured acetabular shell component with an outer wall and an additively manufactured augment coupled to the outer wall. The augment has a customized patient-specific negative contour that conforms to the positive contour of a patient's bone. The abstract also mentions a method for manufacturing the prosthetic component.

  • The orthopaedic prosthetic component includes an acetabular shell component and an augment.
  • The acetabular shell component is manufactured and has an outer wall.
  • The augment is additively manufactured and is coupled to the outer wall of the acetabular shell component.
  • The augment has an outer surface that defines a customized patient-specific negative contour.
  • The negative contour of the augment is shaped to conform to the positive contour of a patient's bone.
  • The abstract also mentions a method for manufacturing the prosthetic component.

Potential Applications:

  • Orthopaedic surgery and prosthetics
  • Customized patient-specific implants

Problems Solved:

  • Inadequate fit of standard prosthetic components
  • Difficulty in achieving proper alignment and stability in orthopaedic implants
  • Limited options for patient-specific customization in orthopaedic prosthetics

Benefits:

  • Improved fit and alignment of orthopaedic prosthetic components
  • Enhanced stability and longevity of implants
  • Customized patient-specific solutions for better patient outcomes
