摘要

Orthopedic implants of small joints in human, in particular a truly patient-specific bone implanting system comprising the implant (100,101,103,104,105) and surgical tools (300,360,400,500,560) is fabricated by additive manufacturing techniques based on the inputs conforming to each patient's anatomy and obtainable from a wide range of existing 3-dimensional imaging and image processing technologies, which offers a substantial progress in logistics, efficiency of surgical operation, and functionality of treated bones.
