摘要:
A patient-specific acetabular guide can be used for preparing an acetabulum of a patient to receive an acetabular implant. The acetabular guide includes a patient-specific engagement surface designed to be complementary and mateable with a corresponding surface of the patient's pelvic anatomy. The acetabular guide is designed during a pre-operative plan for the patient by a three-dimensional reconstruction of the anatomy of the patient using two-dimensional medical images. The patient-specific engagement surface has a first portion mateable with a portion of the acetabulum of the patient. The acetabular guide includes a guiding element that extends from the acetabular guide opposite to the first portion of engagement surface. The guiding element defines a bore designed to be oriented along an alignment axis for an acetabular implant when the acetabular guide is engaged to the acetabulum.

摘要:
A prosthesis (10) for replacing a portion of the anatomy. The prosthesis can include a first body (12) extending between a first region and a second region. The first body can define a first alignment portion (21) near the first region and a first taper (28) near the second region. The prosthesis can also comprise a second body (14) extending between a third region and a fourth region. The second body can define a second alignment portion (38) near the third region and a second taper (42) near the fourth region. The first alignment portion (21) can interact with the second alignment portion (38) , and the first taper (28) and the second taper (42) can interact when the first alignment portion and second alignment portion interact.
