Content
In a step 110, the manufactured instrumentation may be used in surgery to facilitate treatment of the condition. In some embodiments, this may entail placing the modelled bone apposition surface against the corresponding contour of the bone used to obtain its shape, and then using the guide feature(s) to guide resection of one or more bones. Then the bone(s) may be further treated, for example, by attaching one or more joint replacement implants (in the case of joint arthroplasty), or by attaching bone segments together (in the case of arthrodesis or fracture repair). Prior to completion of the step 110, the instrumentation may be removed from the patient, and the surgical wound may be closed.
