Method for treating and repairing knee fractures resulting from benign tumors using patient-specific electronic templates

摘要

This invention relates to a method for osteotomy correction and fixation of tumor fracture by placing a patient specific template over the osteotomy or the tumor locations, which produced by a certain preoperative planning and depends on a highlighted land marks on the bone surface. The patient specific template includes a holes and slots for fixation and resection of the bone. The patient specific template guide the surgeon to the boundaries of tumor along the bone. The planning and the design of the patient specific template depend on the tibial mechanical axis.
