Publikation Patient-specific hip prostheses designed by surgeons(De Gruyter, 30.09.2016) Coigny, Florian; Todor, Adrian; Rotaru, Horatiu; Schumacher, Ralf; Schkommodau, ErikPatient-specific bone and joint replacement implants lead to better functional and aesthetic results than conventional methods [1], [2], [3]. But extracting 3D shape information from CT Data and designing individual implants is demanding and requires multiple surgeon-to-engineer interactions. For manufacturing purposes, Additive Manufacturing offers various advantages, especially for low volume manufacturing parts, such as patient specific implants. To ease these new approaches and to avoid surgeon-to-engineer interactions a new design software approach is needed which offers highly automated and user friendly planning steps.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
