Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining a patient specific soft tissue location within a joint are discussed. For example, a method can include imaging a target location for an orthopedic implant to collect image data regarding a morphology of the patient, the morphology including at least one of bone size and bone feature. The method can additionally include accessing stored soft tissue data and bone data corresponding to the target location of the orthopedic implant, locating a soft tissue of the patient based at least in part upon the soft tissue data and bone data and the image data, and displaying data including the location of the soft tissue of the patient. This data can be used to created patient specific surgical jigs according to one example of the present application.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n creating an average of one or more of an ACL or PCL contour for one or more of an average femur or tibia from a soft tissue data and a bone data corresponding to a target location of the orthopedic implant, wherein the creating the average is derived from a database of femoral and tibial data with identified known one or more of ACL or PCL attachment location information; for a specific patient, imaging a target location corresponding to the target location of the orthopedic implant to collect image data regarding a morphology of the specific patient, the morphology including at least one of a bone size or a bone feature; measuring the morphology resulting from the imaging; altering one or more of the average femur or tibia to match one or more of a femur or tibia of the specific patient; and altering one or more of an ACL or PCL contour of the specific patient with the step of altering one or more of the average femur or tibia.
