Abstract

Method for reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of an osteo-articular structure of a patient, wherein a) bi-dimensional patient-specific image data (41) of said structure is provided; (d) a preliminary solution, corresponding to a previously established solution model of the structure, is provided (42) from a base (21), said preliminary solution comprising a priori knowledge of the corresponding structure, previously established from structures of the same type, said preliminary solution comprising surface data describing the coordinates of the surface of the solution model, and bulk data describing at least one characteristic of the inside of the solution model; the preliminary solution is modified (42′, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48) to be brought in concordance with said patient-specific image data.
