Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/112050

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A method of treating a patient who requires surgical implantation of an orthopedic implant is described. The method includes the steps of: determining the DEXA scan T-score of the patient's native bone at a site of surgical implantation where the implant will be in contact with the patient's native bone; retrieve from among three or more implants of the same type an implant that has a density that is closest to the density of the patient's native bone at the site of surgical implantation based on the DEXA scan T-score of the patient's native bone; and implanting the retrieved implant in the patient to the exclusion of the other two or more implants.
