Automated Deformity Analysis and Osteotomy Planning Tool in the Coronal Plane

Steffen Schröter, Julian Fürmetz, Jörg Harrer

The mediCAD AO Osteotomy software has been developed by the AO TC Deformity Correction Planning Task Force in collaboration with mediCAD® Hectec GmbH. It is the first fully automated 2D osteotomy planning tool based on long leg radiographs in the coronal plane. The software uses artificial intelligence to automatically detect relevant landmarks that are required for the calculation of all alignment parameters needed to analyze the deformity. According to the deformity, the software provides a recommendation whether single tibial, single femoral, or double-level osteotomy is preferable to correct the alignment. Furthermore, hinge point and cutting lines are automatically suggested and correction to a default target simulated.

The Deformity Analysis and Osteotomy Planning Tools are offered to AO Trauma members at a discount of 20% for software licenses and 10% for services, such as on-site training, installation and alike, on the regular price as listed in official price lists in the country, where the AO Trauma member is located and working.

Please contact mediCAD if you are interested to learn more about the mediCAD osteotomy planning tool.
