A MACHINE LEARNING ENABLED MODEL TO OPTIMIZE DESIGN OF OSSEOINTEGRATION-FRIENDLY PATIENT SPECIFIC 3D PRINTED ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS

摘要

A method is disclosed for creating a patient-specific orthopedic implant. The method includes creating a numerical representation of an orthopedic implant design based on patient data describing an anatomical, physiological and pathological condition of a patient and simulating a characteristic of the orthopedic implant design based on the numerical representation. The method further includes selecting a patient-specific orthopedic implant design based on the simulated characteristic of the orthopedic implant design and the patient data and constructing at least one patient-specific orthopedic implant based on the selected patient-specific orthopedic implant design.
