The app intend to assists at preoperative planning the surgeon to perform deformity correction by realigning the mechanical axis to its anatomically normal position more accurately.
Allows to differentiate between a femoral and a tibial cause of malalignment and to avoid instability taken into account dynamic preview simultaneouslally
The optimal correction is calculated by an easy and handy way by the aid of app preoperative planning and helps
Restoring the mechanical axis by osteotomies around knee is easily calculated and presented on screen. In addition by measuring Hip Knee Ankle line (HKA) and Mid joint line (MJL) orientation.App allows to evaluate in real time the success of intended osteotomy by evaluating the kinematic alignment of the knee (KAO), avoiding residual joint obliquity or malalignment.The preoperative planning methods outlined can be applied to both closed- and open-wedge osteotomies to normalize knee joint angles and the orientation of the midjoint line. Depending on the determined opening angle and the length of the osteotomy cut (mediolateral diameter of the osteotomy) the corresponding opening height can be derived
This powerful features allow surgeon. By drawing schematically the femur and the tibia while in the meantime changing the lines dynamically and parameters as a whole interchangable interacting system gives at the surgeon a precise and assist in real time thus selecting the optimal angle without disruption kinematic alignment or accidentally affecting joint obliquity
All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! App indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.These instructions alone do not replace in depth training in planning for osteotomies. It only serves as a general guideline.
