Abstract

A customised orthopaedic implant is provided, the implant being formed of metal, the implant being substantially comprised of a lattice-type geometry that has a periodic arrangement and is conformal to a configuration of a region of bone that was resected to remove bone that is diseased and is optimised to substantially restore a biomechanical function of a bone from which the region of bone was resected on implantation of the customised orthopaedic implant in consideration of the anatomical function and of the properties of a bone type corresponding to the region of bone that was resected, together with patient-specific parameters and anticipated loads to which the implant will be subjected during various typical activities and movements.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM

[0001] The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 123,024, titled “A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CUSTOMISED ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT,” filed Sep. 1, 2016, which claims the benefit of priority of International Application Serial No. PCT / AU2015 / 000124, titled “A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CUSTOMISED ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT,” filed Mar. 4, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to methods for designing and manufacturing customised orthopaedic implants. More particularly, the method relates to design and production of patient-specific orthopaedic implants for insertion into a resected region of bone.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0003] Osteosarcomas are a class of cancer originating from the bone, mainly affecting children or young adults. Prior to the 1970s, amputation was the sole means of treatment available. Amputation results in poor outcomes for patients in terms of quality of life and accordingly curren...
