Generating patient-specific orthopedic surgery plans from medical imaging data

摘要

A patient-specific surgical plan is generated from medical image data by a method which includes receiving an orthopaedic surgical plan request from a computing device of a healthcare facility via a network, receiving a medical image of bony anatomy of a patient, and receiving constraint data corresponding to an orthopaedic surgical procedure to be performed upon the bony anatomy of the patient. The orthopaedic surgical procedure is assessed to determine whether it is difficult orthopaedic surgical procedure. A first surgical plan for the procedure is generated if it is determined that the procedure to be performed is not difficult, and a second surgical plan is generated if the procedure is difficult.
