The process of creating customized implants involves several steps:
Assessment: The first step involves a detailed assessment of the patient's needs and anatomical structure. Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans are used to create a 3D model of the area. Design: The implant is designed using specialized software to match the 3D model. Manufacturing: The custom implant is manufactured, often using biocompatible materials. Surgery: The implant is then surgically placed into the patient.
