ABSTRACT:
In a process of producing an endoprosthesis as a joint replacement especially for knee joints, a reference image for determining contour differences on the femur and the tibia, which are obtained by comparing a corrected preoperative image of the damaged knee joint with a postoperative image, is used as the basis for preparing corresponding femoral and tibial components of the endoprosthesis.
