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 1):
A system for generating a specification for a patient-specific implantable spinal rod to correct a vertebral column of a patient, the system comprising:\n an electronic interface configured to analyze one or more preoperative representations of the vertebral column of the patient, wherein the one or more preoperative representations is analyzed by:\n generating one or more modified preoperative representations by correcting a first portion and a second portion of the one or more preoperative representations; and \n preoperatively obtaining a corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient, wherein obtaining the corrected curvature comprises:\n determining a curvature of a first curved segment of the vertebral column generated based on the corrected first portion and the corrected second portion, wherein the first curved segment comprises a portion of the vertebral column below a reference point; and \n determining a curvature of a second curved segment of the vertebral column, wherein the second curved segment comprises a portion of the vertebral column above the reference point, wherein the second curved segment comprises a different curvature than the first curved segment; \n \n wherein the electronic interface is further configured to:\n generate preoperative data instructions based at least in part on the preoperatively obtained corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient, the generated preoperative data instructions configured for use by a manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the patient-specific implantable spinal rod; and \n electronically transfer the generated preoperative data instructions to a manufacturing system for producing the patient-specific implantable spinal rod.
