Integrated orthopedic planning and management process

Abstract

A method can include receiving, at a server, preoperative image data of a patient's bone, and accessing, at the server, a database of three-dimensional model data. A patient specific three-dimensional model of the patient's bone can be generated, at the server. A preoperative surgical plan can be generated at the server, which can include comparing aspects of the preoperative surgical plan with predetermined reliability criteria. An interactive user interface for use by a surgeon to review the preoperative surgical plan can be provided, from the server, to a user device. Approval of the preoperative surgical plan can be received, at the server, via the interactive user interface. Postoperative image data of the patient's bone can be received at the server. A postoperative outcome study report can be generated, at the server, and can include a comparison of the preoperative surgical plan with the postoperative image data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for generating a preoperative plan for an orthopedic surgical procedure, the system comprising:
 one or more processors;   memory including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:   retrieve, from a database, generalized data of previous bone models generated for orthopedic surgical procedures and surgical outcome information for the orthopedic surgical procedure;   retrieve, from the database, patient-specific information related to the orthopedic surgical procedure, including range of motion data;   automatically generate the preoperative plan for the orthopedic surgical procedure using the generalized data, the surgical outcome information, and the patient-specific information related to the orthopedic surgical procedure, operations to generate the preoperative plan including:   select, with the one or more processors automatically, an implant based on the range of motion data;   generate a patient-specific 3D model based on the patient-specific information and the generalized data of previous bone models; and   render a visual depiction of the implant with the patient-specific 3D model; and   output the preoperative plan for display on a user interface.
