    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a prosthesis (11) for a fractured long bone of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: A) providing data representative of the fractured long bone, the fractured long bone comprising a diaphyseal fragment (2) comprising a medullary cavity (8); B) based on said data, designing the prosthesis specifically to the patient, the prosthesis comprising a stem part (12) configured to be inserted into the medullary cavity, step B) comprising: a sub-step of choosing, specifically to the patient, a contact zone (40) of the medullary cavity onto which a respective chosen mechanical stress is planned to be applied by the stem part, and a sub-step of designing the stem part so that the stem part may be inserted into the medullary cavity and thus apply the chosen mechanical stress to said contact zone; and C) manufacturing the prosthesis designed at step B).

    Abstract: A method comprises generating initial designs that represent an orthopedic prosthesis customized for a patient; generating alternative designs based on the initial designs, wherein the alternative designs represent the orthopedic prosthesis and generating the alterative designs comprises, for each initial design in the set of initial designs: applying an encoder model that generates a vector based on the initial design, wherein the encoder model is part of an autoencoder; generating a set of modified vectors by modifying one or more elements of the vector; applying a decoder model to the modified vectors to generate one or more of the alternative designs, wherein the decoder model is part of the autoencoder, and the alternative designs represent the orthopedic prosthesis; and selecting a design for the orthopedic prosthesis based from the initial designs or the alternative designs.
