KINEMATIC DATA-BASED PATIENT-SPECIFIC ARTIFICIAL DISCS, IMPLANTS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract: 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.
