Content
Next, the method 300 may design 310 a patient-specific instrument and/or procedure model based on the preliminary instrument model. The design step 310 may be completely automated or may optionally permit a user to make changes to a preliminary instrument model or partially completed patient-specific instrument model before the patient-specific instrument model is complete. A preliminary instrument model and patient-specific instrument model are two examples of an instrument model. As used herein, “instrument model” refers to a model, either physical or digital, that represents an instrument, tool, apparatus, or device. Examples, of an instrument model can include a cutting instrument model, a resection instrument model, an alignment instrument model, a reduction instrument model, a patient-specific tendon trajectory instrument model, graft harvesting instrument model, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) positioner model, or the like. In one embodiment, a patient-specific instrument and a patient-specific instrument model may be unique to a particular patient and that patient’s anatomy and/or condition.
