In a system for transmitting specifications for a customized prosthesis, particularly a surgical implant such as a femur prosthesis, an order is first transmitted comprising clinical data for a patient from a client ( 12 ) to a server ( 10 ). Diagnostic information for the patient is then transmitted from a diagnosis unit ( 13 ) to the server ( 10 ). The information is further transmitted to a processing unit ( 15 ), which generates inetr alia a prosthesis design draft. The draft is transmitted to the server ( 10 ) and on to the client ( 12 ). A specification based on the draft is transmitted from the client ( 12 ) to the server, and manufacturing parameters based on the specification are transmitted to a manufacturing unit ( 14 ) for manufacture of the prosthesis. The invention relates to methods and devices that form part of such a system on the server and client sides. The invention brings increased efficiency, reliability and interactivity to the process of specification and manufacture of customized prostheses.
