More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a novel system for trialing implants used in orthopedic surgery. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a composite trial implant that employs a wireframe with holes for guide wires (K-wires) and fixation screws. The novel trial implant allows a surgeon to determine the correct size, hole configuration, and cross-sectional profile with a simulated device, that permits more rapid and accurate selection of a permanent implant. La présente invention concerne un nouveau système d'essai d'implants utilisés en chirurgie orthopédique. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un implant d'essai composite qui utilise une maquette fonctionnelle avec des trous pour des fils-guides (fils K) et des vis de fixation. Le nouvel implant d'essai permet à un chirurgien de déterminer la taille, la configuration et le profil de section transversale corrects avec un dispositif simulé, qui permet une sélection plus rapide et précise d'un implant permanent.
