Where can I find the information (manual) for the individual modules?
The manual for mediCAD is digitally stored. Press the F1 key on your computer or click on the question mark in the menu bar of your mediCAD® program. There you can download the manual as PDF under “HELP”.
What do I do if the reference sphere scaling does not work automatically?
In the menu bar of your mediCAD® program, go to “FILE”, then to “SETTINGS” and then to “SCALING”. You can select the desired mode there and also specify the diameter of your reference sphere in mm.
How can I hide the individual manufacturers so that I don't constantly get the entire list of the prosthesis database?
Select the manufacturer you do not want and press the right mouse button. Then click on the sub-item “HIDE ELEMENT”, the manufacturer will then no longer appear. At the very bottom of the list of manufacturers you will find a small arrow symbol behind which these elements are hidden.
What do I do in my planning if I have several elements for prostheses (e.g. for revision sockets) and do not always want to leave the prosthesis database?
Click on the “+” button in the implant assistant. Now the option to add an element is automatically offered.
Where can I find gamma nails or PFNA nails, for example?
In your planning assistant, go to “OSTEOSYNTHESIS” or “PLATES / NAILS” in the lowest part. Implants are also located there.
At what point do I have to CUT OUT the FEMUR in the hip planning?
Draw a line across the femoral neck – regardless of your subsequent resection – and then determine a polygon around the femur. Finish drawing the polygon with a right click.
When do I have to correct ABDUCTION / ADDUCTION in the hip planning?
This is only an optional function if there is a congenital malposition or the X-ray is not optimal due to a less cooperative patient.
How do I bring the center of rotation of the cup and the center of rotation of the stem together?
First of all, this requires a femur section and the selection of only one neck length (center of the head). Under the menu item “REFIXING SHAFT / PROTHESIS”, first click on the cross of the neck of the shaft. Then the program catches the center of the prosthesis by moving the mouse towards it. CAUTION: Please always enlarge the image to avoid refixing incorrectly.
What is the difference between KNIEBASIS TIBIA NORMAL and KNIEBASIS TIBIA WITH FUJISAWA POINT in osteotomy?
With the function „KNIEBASIS TIBIA WITH FUJISAWA POINT“ you will get not only the tibial knee centre but also a second point, the Fujisawa-Point. This point is displayed as „X“.This point is laterally at 62% of the mediolateral tibial plateau and represents 3° overcorrection; the bearing line (miculic line) is later drawn through this point.
How do I draw my line in the OSTEOTOMY to get an OPEN WEDGE or a CLOSED WEDGE?
In the same way as you would execute the resection during surgery, you draw the line with 2 points. With the third point you define the rotation centre for OPEN or CLOSED WEDGE.
