- Title
CUSTOM KNEE PROSTHESIS DESIGN FOR ADITIVE MANUFACTURING.

- Abstract
This work aims to develop a customized knee joint prosthesis, starting from the traditional preoperative planning of total knee arthroplasty surgery and using morpho-anatomical parameters extracted from the patient's CT scans. The customized model of the knee prosthesis is made using a three-dimensional virtual preoperative planning method, similar to the traditional preoperative planning performed by surgeons. The CT scans of a patient were segmented, using specific algorithms to extract the bone tissue that forms the knee joint, and then the obtained model was imported into the CAD application software, where, with the help of evaluation tools, all the femoral and tibial patient's landmarks were identified. Based on these morpho-anatomical landmarks, a 3D model of the knee prosthesis was built, which was used in additive manufacturing of the prototype.
