    摘要: A system for generating a patient-specific implant is described which includes a means for generating a three dimensional electronic representation of a human anatomical feature including size and curvature features matching the human anatomical feature, a means for selecting a prosthetic implant template from a database of prosthetic implant templates, the database being formed of the prosthetic implant templates by a means for generating a series of the virtual implant templates, a means for designing the patient-specific implant to imitate the size and curvature features based at least in part on the selected prosthetic implant template, and a means for virtually testing fit of the patient-specific implant using the three dimensional electronic representation of the human anatomical feature.
