Orthopedic surgeons can use the osteotomy module to plan corrective osteotomy surgical procedures of the patella, tibia and femur, using the open wedge or closed wedge technique. Axial malalignments of the knee joint are found automatically, and realignments are handled automatically or manually. This can aid in knee pain relief, halt the progression of knee arthritis and improve range of motion in active patients and younger patients, while potentially delaying the need for total knee replacement surgery.
An integrated database makes it easy to select suitable osteosynthesis and knee replacement components such as nails, plates, screws and more. With mediCAD®, merging partial x-ray and arthroscopy images to create a complete long-leg image is a very simple and intuitive process.
