<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for designing a patient-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument. <P>SOLUTION: A method and system for designing a patient-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument includes coupling a knee sleeve to a leg of the patient. The knee sleeve includes sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of the position of each sensor. The method also include determining angulation data indicative of the angulation of the knee from the sensor data. The angulation data may be indicative of, for example, the ligament laxity of the knee. The method may also include generating a medical image(s) of the knee. The design of the patient-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument is determined from the angulation data and the medical image(s). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
