Patient-specific surgical tool system for bone osteosynthesis
The granted patent US12056834B2 describes a surgical tool system specifically designed for the osteosynthesis of fractured bones. This system includes a registration instrument that helps position fractured bone fragments in a predefined healing position, along with a post-registration instrument that aligns these fragments with an osteosynthesis plate. The registration instrument features two contact surfaces that correspond to the unique shapes of the bone fragments, and it includes guiding channels to assist in drilling pilot holes at precise orientations. The osteosynthesis plate is equipped with multiple openings that align with the pilot holes, facilitating the rigid fixation of the bone fragments in their reconstructed positions.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for designing patient-specific registration instruments by acquiring three-dimensional models of fractured bones and determining the relevant surface portions of the fragments. The design process ensures that the registration instrument fits accurately to the bone fragments, allowing for effective alignment during surgery. The system also includes features such as threaded openings in the osteosynthesis plate for securing surgical pins or cannulated screws, which further enhance the stability of the fixation. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving surgical outcomes in bone fracture repairs through innovative tool design and precise alignment techniques.
