The present invention relates to methods for determining meniscal size and shape for use in designing therapies for the treatment of various joint diseases. The invention uses an image of a joint that is processed for analysis. Analysis can include, for example, generating a thickness map, a cartilage curve, or a point cloud. This information is used to determine the extent of the cartilage defect or damage and to design an appropriate therapy, including, for example, an implant. Adjustments to the designed therapy are made to account for the materials used.
La présente invention concerne des procédés visant à déterminer les dimensions et formes de ménisques pour concevoir des thérapies permettant de traiter diverses affections articulaires. L'invention utilise une image d'une articulation qui est traitée aux fins d'analyse. L'analyse peut comporter, par exemple, la génération d'un relevé des épaisseurs, d'une courbe de cartilage, ou d'un nuage de points. Cette information sert à déterminer l'étendue d'une lésion du cartilage et à concevoir une thérapie appropriée, et notamment, un implant. Des ajustements de la thérapie ainsi conçue permettront de tenir compte des matériaux utilisés.
