  • the cartilage surface repaired by the operation may be destroyed, which will be followed in a couple of years by a state corresponding to osteoarthritis, i.e. invalidity.
  • osteoarthritis patients are mostly young people or those of working age, such as building workers, invalidizing osteoarthritis leads to not only personal misfortune, but also a significant economic cost.

  • the rings are attached to the patient's bone by using tensioning cables and bone screws.

  • a drawback of the method is that, in terms of the area of the theme of the invention, the method cannot be used to determine reliably the movement of the bones under the actual tissues, but rather the movement of the tissue on top of the bones. In addition, these methods do not reveal the fine-dynamic flexing under the soft tissue, i.e. the dynamics between the bones. Because it has not been possible to accurately define the precise anatomic movement, it has also not been possible, on the basis of these methods, to design anatomically personalized external supports.

  • the methods are suitable for modelling the shape of an individual bone.
  • MRI is not, however, suitable for situations in which non-MRI compliant screws are used - for example different kinds of steel screws or other attachment means - in the area of the joint already attached for old injuries or installed for the care of a new injury.
  • CT imaging would be a possible method, but it suffers from imaging interference caused by metals and from the great radiation stress caused to the patient.
  • CT and MRI-based methods are indeed suitable for the manufacture of patient-specific artificial joints and other implants, the use of the said methods does not achieve sufficient accuracy as would permit preserving and saving a patient's own joint after injury.
  • significant swelling also occurs in the area of a limb joint after injury, which reduces the accuracy if the definition of movement or the support is based on skin contact.
  • reference geometries can be utilized, either by creating them in a three-dimensional 3D-CAD system, or by bringing a camera-based digital geometry to the design system, by using various methods and various formats. Challenges generally arise in the combination of a reliable design geometry, referencing digitalization, and a real application.

  • the results may be also used to automatically configure pre-designed parts.
  • the pre-designed parts may be adapted to anatomically personal dimensions.
  • the adapter component 31 of the first auxiliary frame 12 and the at least one groove 108 in the cylindrical or conical inner surface 103 of the second moveable mechanism may be anatomically personalized according to certain embodiments of the invention. Personalization may take place manually or by means of a computer aided algorithm based on the measured landmarks. Synchronization of the master mechanism and the slave mechanism can be also analysed and optimized, thus resulting in a personalized set of personalized components.
  • any part of the external support can be anatomically personalized according to certain embodiments of the invention, if required.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un support externe de mobilisation et personnalisé de façon anatomique, conçu pour supporter une articulation physique (40) entre des premier et second groupes d'os (10, 20), lequel support comprend au moins un premier cadre auxiliaire externe (12), au moins un second cadre auxiliaire externe (22), et le support externe étant conçu pour permettre une rotation d'une partie du second cadre auxiliaire (22) autour d'un premier axe de rotation (111) par rapport à une autre partie du second cadre auxiliaire (22), et ladite rotation entraîne une rotation du second cadre auxiliaire externe (22) autour d'un second axe de rotation (100) par rapport au premier cadre auxiliaire externe (12). La présente invention concerne en outre un procédé pour commander un trajet d'un second cadre auxiliaire externe (2) d'un support externe de mobilisation et personnalisé de façon anatomique.
