ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a surgical mesh material to be used in conjunction with donor bone in reconstructive surgery. A first corporeal model is made of the defect in the bone using computer tomographic techniques. The computer drives a sculpting tool. A second corporeal model is made of missing bone. Surgical mesh is shaped using the second corporeal model as a template. The shaped surgical mesh can be implanted in the patient.
