The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacture of a dental implant for a molar, including acquiring, structural data corresponding to bones of the facial skeleton, the bones of the facial skeleton being proximate the molar, selecting, as a dental implant fixation surface, a surface of the bones based upon a determined thickness of the bones, generating, based on the selected dental implant fixation surface, a contoured surface of the dental implant, and fabricating, based upon an instruction transmitted by processing circuitry, a bone plate extending from a buccal end of a cylindrical plate of the dental implant, the cylindrical plate having support lattices extending therefrom, at least one support lattice of the support lattices being arranged on a lingual end of the cylindrical plate, the cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive a dental post.

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing nose implant, including obtaining a 3-dimensional image of a nasal bone and a 3-dimensional image of a nasal cavity; modeling a nasal cartilage by applying information of anatomy between the nasal bone, nasal cavity, and nasal cartilage, to the 3-dimensional image of the nasal bone and the 3-dimensional image of the nasal cavity; and modeling an inner shape of where the implant may be seated, from the 3-dimensional image of the nasal bone and the modelled nasal cartilage.

The disclosure describes examples of machine-learned model based techniques. A computing system may obtain patient characteristics of a patient and implant characteristics of an implant. The computing system may determine information indicative of an operational duration of the implant based on the patient characteristics and the implant characteristics and output the information indicative of the operational duration of the implant. In some examples, one or more processors may be configured to receive, with a machine-learned model of the computing system, implant characteristics of an implant to be manufactured, apply model parameters of the machine-learned model to the implant characteristics, determine information indicative of dimensions of the implant to be manufactured based on the applying of the model parameters of the machine-learned model, and output the information indicative of the dimensions of the implant to be manufactured.

A knee prosthesis (e.g., a tibial implant or component) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the tibial implant includes a load bearing component (e.g., a tibial tray) and a support member arranged and configured to be at least partially positioned within an intramedullary canal of a patient's bone. In some embodiments, the tibial implant may also include one or more pegs positioned anteriorly on a bottom surface of the tray and one or more bridges for coupling the pegs to the support member so that loads received by the pegs are transferred to the support member via the bridge. In addition, and/or alternatively, the tibial implant may include one or more chamfers or loading zones for elongating the transition area between the support member and the bottom surface of the tibial tray to extend the area over which the load is transferred.

An implant shredder includes a base and a cutting member. The base includes a first chamber and a second chamber intercommunicating with the first chamber. The first chamber includes an inlet. The second chamber includes an outlet. The cutting member is received in the second chamber. The cutting member is driven by a driving member to rotate. The cutting member includes a plurality of cutting edges located on a circumference of a same radius. The plurality of cutting edges is rotatably disposed adjacent to a location intercommunicating with the first chamber. An implant forming method includes creating data of an outline of an implant; producing a shaping mold based on the data; and cutting a to-be-processed object with the implant shredder, then mixing the to-be-proceed object with a biological tissue glue to obtain a raw material, and filling the raw material into the shaping mold to form the implant.

Methods and systems of augmenting an implant intraoperatively and preparing a cone for revision surgical procedure are disclosed. A system includes a cutting device, a tracking and navigation system and a cutting system in operable communication with the cutting device and the tracking and navigation system. The cutting device includes a communication system, a cutting element, and a plurality of optical trackers. The tracking and navigation system is configured to detect a location of optical trackers. The control system is configured to cause the tracking and navigation system to detect the location of the cutting device, determine a revised shape for an implant cavity, cause the cutting device to cut the implant cavity to the revised shape, select a shape for a cone to be placed in the revised implant cavity, and machine the cone to the selected shape.

A medical implant which comprises a porous lattice is fabricated with additive manufacturing techniques such as direct metal laser sintering. A CAD model of the porous lattice is created by defining a trimming volume and merging some lattice elements with adjacent solid substrate.

This disclosure describes manufacturing of a device configured to guide bone and tissue regeneration for a bone defect. A method may include receiving a three-dimensional digital model or scan representing an anatomical feature to be repaired, generating a simulated membrane using the three-dimensional model, the simulated membrane being configured to cover the anatomical feature to be repaired, generating a digital two-dimensional flattened version of the simulated membrane, and generating code or instructions configured to cause a three-dimensional printer or milling device to produce a trimming guide that includes an opening corresponding to the flattened version of the simulated membrane and that further includes a cut-out configured to hold a premanufactured membrane. The trimming guide may be operative as a guide for marking or cutting the premanufactured membrane through the opening while the premanufactured membrane is held in the cut-out.

A method of repairing a fractured humerus may include implanting a prosthetic humeral stem into a humeral canal of the fractured humerus. First and second tuberosities of the fractured humerus may be robotically machined to include first and second implant-facing surfaces that are substantially negatives of first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem. The first and second tuberosities may be machined so that the first and second tuberosities have first and second interlocking surfaces shaped to interlock with each other. During implantation, the first and second implant-facing surfaces are in contact with the first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem, and the first interlocking surface interlocks with the second interlocking surface.

A method of manufacturing a surgical implant includes simultaneously forming a first component and a second component of the surgical implant. Formation of the first and second components includes depositing a first quantity of material to a building platform and fusing the first quantity of material to form a first layer of the first and second components. The method of manufacturing also includes depositing a second quantity of material over the first layer of the first and second components and fusing the second quantity of material to form a second layer of the first and second components. The surgical implant is fully assembled upon the completion of the formation of the first and second components.
