CAD - CAM Procedures Used for Rapid Prototyping of Prosthetic Hip Joint Bone

[摘要] The article addresses the issue of rapid prototyping CAD/ CAM procedures, based on CT imaging, for custom implants dedicated to hip arthroplasty and the correlation study to be achieved between femoral canal shape, valued by modern imaging methods, and the prosthesis form. A set of CT images is transformed into a digital model using one of several software packages available for conversion. The purpose of research is to obtain prosthesis with compatible characteristics as close to the physiological, with an optimal adjustment of the prosthesis to the bone in which it is implanted, allowing the recovery of the patient physically, mentally and socially.
