Abstract
A system and a method for planning human orthopaedic surgery for restoring the volume and/or the geometry of a bone, by expanding at least one expandable bone implant (1) between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration, the implant including a body extending along a longitudinal axis (L) between a proximal end (11) connectable with an implantation instrument (A) for holding the implant and a distal end (12) intended to be firstly inserted into the bone, wherein the system includes a plurality of expandable bone implants (1) and at least one planning support presenting the implants (1) and instrument (A), with reference to at least one standardized classification of the various types of fractures identified, in particular vertebral compression fractures, the planning aid being implementable in the form of a human-machine interface.
