CA 2720639

A method is provided for determining the shape of a surgical linking device that is to be attached to a bony body structure such as the spinal column based on digitized locations of a plurality of attachment elements engaged to the bony structure. The method is implemented by a computer system through a GUI to generate an initial bend curve to mate with the plurality of attachment elements. The initial bend curve may be simplified based on user input to the GUI to reduce the number of bends necessary to produce a well-fitting linking device and may be altered to help obtain the goals of the surgery.

Linvention concerne un procédé pour déterminer la forme dun dispositif chirurgical de liaison, qui doit être attaché à une structure osseuse telle que la colonne vertébrale, sur base demplacements digitalisés dune série déléments dattachement engagés avec la structure osseuse. Le procédé est complété dun système dordinateur par un GUI pour générer une courbe de flexion initiale à ajuster à la série des éléments dattachement. La courbe de flexion initiale peut être simplifiée par une entrée utilisateur sur le GUI, de manière à réduire le nombre de flexions nécessaires pour produire un dispositif de liaison bien ajusté et elle peut être altérée pour aider à attendre les objectifs de la chirurgie.
