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; the electronic interface configured for accessing an angular correction of the vertebral column of the patient, the interface configured to show a modification of the one or more preoperative images having a correction to be made to the vertebral column of the patient based on the accessed angular correction; the electronic interface configured for calculating curvatures of a first curved segment and a second curved segment of the vertebral column represented in the modified one or more preoperative images, wherein the second curved segment comprises a different curvature than the first curved segment; the electronic interface configured for generating preoperative data instructions based at least in part on the accessed angular correction and the calculated curvatures of the first and second curved segments of the vertebral column, the generated preoperative data instructions 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 preoperative data instructions to a manufacturing system for producing the patient-specific implantable spinal rod comprising the calculated curvatures.
