Embodiment Construction

[0061] The present invention provides a custom designed full contact bone exoskeletal cast / splint with multiple adjustable and / or self-adjusting structural components that closely fit a portion of the human anatomy. The structural solution of the invention was developed to facilitate a controlled and medically beneficial relationship between the orthosis and the patient. While the structural solutions of the present invention are particularly suited for post-fracture applications, the methods and techniques described herein may also be used to treat other musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions requiring orthopedic intervention. The devices and methods of the present invention address a series of very common complications in post-fracture management.

[0062]The swelling management system (SMS) introduces circumferential adjustment capability (increase or decrease) into a personalized body brace to accommodate swelling and atrophy during immobilization. SMS is achieved b...

Abstract

A conformable body interface is fabricated using a data set representing a three- dimensional, soft tissue body surface. The conformable body interface includes a body scaffold that is divided into two or more longitudinal segments separated by axial joints. Optionally, the body scaffold is further divided into two or more circumferentially split segments separated by circumferential joints. The axial joints are circumferentially constrained by elastic bands, tabs, or similar structures and the circumferential joints are longitudinally constrained by elastic axial tethers or similar structures. In this way, the body interfaces can accommodate swelling and bending of the body surface.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This PCT application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 151,920, filed April 23, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 152,593, filed April 24, 2015, and claims PCT / Priority of IB2015 / 002432, the entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] 1. Field of invention. Although orthopedic interventions for physical rehabilitation have been known for centuries, splints, casts, and other orthotics present challenges in their implementation. From splints made of sticks and casts made of plaster for temporary fixation, the field has progressed to the manufacture of dynamic orthoses from advanced composite materials. More recently, the field has evolved to use 3D scanning and printing techniques to produce 3D orthoses that are individualized to the patient's anatomy. [0004] The primary function of any cast or splint is to provide...
