SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT FIXATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341973 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT FIXATION
The abstract describes a personalized fixation system for surgical procedures, including a software tool for surgical planning, bone anchors, and a non-planar plate manufactured using additive manufacturing.
- The system adjusts relationships of relevant anatomy of a subject.
- It includes at least one bone anchor for stability.
- The plate has a non-planar shape determined by the software tool.
- The plate accepts the bone anchor and includes nodes with holes for connection.
- A locking element secures the bone anchor to the plate.
Potential Applications: - Orthopedic surgeries - Trauma surgeries - Maxillofacial surgeries
Problems Solved: - Enhanced customization for individual patients - Improved stability and fixation during surgeries
Benefits: - Increased precision in surgical procedures - Reduced risk of complications - Faster recovery times for patients
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Personalized Fixation System for Enhanced Surgical Procedures" This technology can be utilized in hospitals, surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics to improve patient outcomes and streamline surgical processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the personalized fixation system improve surgical outcomes? - The system allows for customized fixation based on the patient's anatomy, leading to better stability and alignment during surgery.
2. What are the advantages of using additive manufacturing for manufacturing the non-planar plate? - Additive manufacturing enables the creation of complex shapes that are tailored to the patient's specific needs, enhancing the effectiveness of the fixation system.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
