Abstract
A system and method for customizing a knee prosthesis that has a femoral component, a tibial component, and a spacer construct. A gap space exists between the femoral component and the tibial component that is measured in vivo. A spacer blank is provided. The spacer blank is shaped into a spacer construct on-demand during the surgical procedure. The spacer construct that is produced matches the optimal size needed for the gap space that was measured. The spacer blank is shaped by being placed in a jig. Various tools are then used to cut features into the spacer blank, wherein the tools are guided by the jig. This produces the spacer construct of the proper size.
