Automated Patient-Specific Prosthesis Design System for Bone Defects

Overview

Our system revolutionizes orthopedic care by combining advanced technology and surgical expertise. It quickly detects bone defects and ensures a thorough understanding of the patient’s condition. With precise defect removal and accurate filling shapes, it optimizes treatment processes and assembles implant fixation features, creating comprehensive prostheses. This innovation simplifies procedures and enhances patient outcomes, fundamentally reshaping healthcare practices.

Problem addressed

The problem addressed is the inefficiency in orthopedic care related to bone defects. Traditional methods often result in delays in diagnosing and treating these defects, leading to prolonged patient suffering. Additionally, the lack of precision in defect removal and filling can compromise the effectiveness of surgical procedures, ultimately affecting patient outcomes and the overall quality of orthopedic care.
