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 patient-specific spinal rod specification generation for producing a patient-specific implantable spinal rod for correcting a curvature of a vertebral column of a patient, the system comprising:\n an electronic interface configured for accessing one or more preoperative images of the vertebral column of the patient, wherein the one or more preoperative images show a correction to be made to the vertebral column of the patient; the electronic interface configured for calculating curvatures of a first curved segment and a second curved segment of the vertebral column represented in the one or more preoperative images, wherein the first curved segment of the vertebral column comprises a portion of the vertebral column below a reference point and the second curved segment of the vertebral column 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; the electronic interface configured for generating a patient-specific spinal rod specification based at least in part on the calculated curvatures of the first and second curved segments of the vertebral column, the generated patient-specific spinal rod specification configured for use by a manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the patient-specific implantable spinal rod; and the electronic interface configured for electronically transferring the generated patient-specific spinal rod specification to a manufacturing system for producing the patient-specific implantable spinal rod comprising the calculated curvatures.
