An analysis determines the type, number, size and localization of the osteotomies. When correction is complete, all joint-related mechanical weight-bearing axes and joint tangents must lie within the normal range.
Common methods: Open Wedge oder Closed Wedge
Misalignments can be calculated using the expanded Osteotomy module according to Dror Paley. All pre- and post-operative results are shown. The process has been used for years at www.gelenkzentrum-wiesbaden.de and offers the following advantages:
- Analysis of the preoperative situation
- Determination of CORA/NCORA, single or multiple osteotomies
- Simulation of postoperative results.
- Automatic calculation of optimal angles.
- Determination of the apex and actual angle of deformity from the AP and sagittal views.
- Interactively select and evaluate the correction yourself.
Dror Paley’s principle of deformity correction are based on the mathemathical principles and studies of Prof. Dr. Dror Paley/Baltimore/USA and was developed for mediCAD by Prof. Dr. med. J. Pfeil and Prof. Dr. B. Gladbach/Wiesbaden.
