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 Si 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 specifications 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 x-ray images of the vertebral column of the patient, wherein the one or more preoperative x-ray images is analyzed by:\n generating one or more modified preoperative representations of the vertebral column based at least in part on the one or more preoperative x-ray images; and \n preoperatively obtaining a corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient based at least in part on the one or more modified preoperative representations, wherein obtaining the corrected curvature comprises:\n determining a curvature of a first curved segment of the vertebral column, 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 specifications for the patient-specific implantable spinal rod based at least in part on the preoperatively obtained corrected curvature of the vertebral column of the patient, the generated specifications for the patient-specific implantable spinal rod configured to be used for obtaining the patient-specific implantable spinal rod; and \n electronically transfer the generated specifications for the patient-specific implantable spinal rod to a user for obtaining the patient-specific implantable spinal rod.
