Abstract:
According to the invention, the process includes the steps of: a) taking a sagittal preoperative x-ray of the vertebral column of the patient to be treated, extending from the cervical vertebrae to the femoral heads; b) on that x-ray, identifying points on S1, S2, T12 et C7; c) depicting, on the said x-ray, curved segments beginning at the center of the plate of S1 et going to the center of the plate of C7; e) identifying, on that x-ray, the correction(s) to be made to the vertebral column, including the identification of posterior osteotomies to make; f) pivoting portions of said x-ray relative to other portions of that x-ray, according to osteotomies to be made; g) performing, on said x-ray, a displacement of the sagittal curvature segment extending over the vertebral segment to be corrected; h) from a straight vertebral rod (TV), producing the curvature of that rod according to the shape of said sagittal curvature segment in said displacement position.

Claim (Index 2):
A system for manufacturing a customized implantable spinal rod to correct a vertebral column of a patient, the system comprising:\n an interface for analyzing one or more preoperative images of a patient of the vertebral column, wherein the one or more preoperative images of the patient is analyzed by:\n identifying one or more corrections to be made to the vertebral column; \n generating one or more modified preoperative images by modifying the one or more preoperative images of the patient by:\n correcting a first portion of the one or more preoperative images of the patient relative to a reference portion of the one or more preoperative images, wherein the first portion of the one or more preoperative images comprises sacral vertebrae of the vertebral column; and \n correcting a second portion of the one or more preoperative images of the patient relative to the reference portion of the one or more preoperative images, wherein the second portion of the one or more preoperative images comprises cervical vertebrae of the vertebral column; \n \n determining a first curved segment of the vertebral column on the one or more modified preoperative images generated based on the pivoting of the first portion and the second portion, wherein the first curved segment comprises a portion of the vertebral column below the reference portion; \n determining a second curved segment of the vertebral column on the one or more modified preoperative images, wherein the second curved segment comprises a portion of the vertebral column above the reference portion, wherein the second curved segment comprises a different curvature than the first curved segment; \n preoperatively calculating a degree of angular correction to obtain a corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient, the corrected curvature accounting for an elongation of the vertebral column of the patient resulting from the degree of angular correction, the preoperatively calculated degree of angular correction based at least in part on one or more of a curvature of the first curved segment or a curvature of the second curved segment; and \n the interface further configured to generate preoperative data instructions based at least in part on the preoperatively calculated degree of angular correction and the corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient accounting for the elongation of the vertebral column of the patient, the generated preoperative data instructions configured for use by a manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the customized implantable spinal rod, wherein the interface comprises a computer processor and an electronic storage medium.
