Fenestration Alignment Program

Patient-specific implants with fenestration(s) positioned at locations specific to patient’s anatomy at the site of implantation. Automated methods for making the patient-specific implants through fenestration alignment are described. Devices for making the patient-specific implants are also described. Typically, the devices operate on input of the fenestration alignment derived from the automated method. The devices and methods may form patient-specific linear (isodiametric) as well as patient-specific tapered (heterodiametric) implants with fenestrations.
