Happy with purchase. Well worth the £4.99. Excellent refresher for revision/wards/everyday use. Would just be nice to include common spinal fractures as well. ### 5/5 — An amazing app *2023-07-23, version 1.5.3* It is a useful tool to help me dive into fracture care! ### 5/5 — Brilliant guide! *2021-01-22, version 1.4* This app is fantastic; clear, concise & easy to understand. Excellent for foundation doctors who are unsure on how to manage fractures, and for core surgical trainees with an interest in orthopaedics. I’m an Ortho SpR and I still use it! 😀 ### 5/5 — Life saver for foundation doctors alone on night shifts *2020-03-23, version 1.4* I found it very useful for all those under-supported night shifts. Also very educational with good tips for morning trauma meetings. ### 2/5 — W *2020-03-13* By Mistake, pressed purchase, please give back money, I don’t need this app now. **Developer response:** Unfortunately there is no option to refund an accidental purchase through the App Store. We hope you enjoy the app regardless. ### 5/5 — UC Doctor *2018-07-16, version 1.4* Use it almost every shift. Excellent and useful app ### 5/5 — Useful app *2018-03-15, version 1.4* Great information. Love the set up. Simple to use. Would be 5 stars but some of dispositions are cut off. Only half of the words are shown so unable to read it fully. Please update and will make it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Dr W *2017-09-04, version 1.4* Great app for anyone in ED, easy to access and really useful information to help guide management and develop understanding ### 5/5 — Super! *2017-05-02* 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Dr *2017-02-10, version 1.4* Very scarce information.

Thanks to typo-spotter, Mark, who knows his clavicle from his humerus. ### 1.5.2 — 2021-07-05 Bug extermination. Thanks to our user that pointed out a crash in the lateral malleolus flow. Happy OrthoFlowing! ### 1.5.1 — 2021-06-25 Minor bug fix in the calcaneal fracture flow ### 1.5 — 2021-06-09 v1.5 "Hmmm, upgrades" It's been a long couple of years in OrthoFlow Towers with the team working on our latest version. Coded from scratch (Dave knows how to do that now), the app now looks great on all device sizes, and images have been resized and improved to take advantage of those lovely big screens Apple has been making of late. You'll also find a nice new user interface that includes a search function for the trauma meeting and patient consent indexes. This update is paving the way for some great new features and future updates so watch this space and as always please give us a rating on the app store, tell your friends and colleagues about the app and get in touch (contact@orthoflow.org) if you have any comments or suggestions! ### 1.4 — 2016-11-30 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. v1.4 "Revenge of the Gremlins" So v1.3's gremlin had friends, powerful friends, friends that moved images off centre, chopped the bottom of text from boxes, and repeatedly threw up our T&Cs every time you hit the home button. There was a rebellion. There were casualties on both sides (namely our free time), but most importantly the gremlins, and their friends, have been wiped out. Long live Orthoflow and centred images! Now get out there, fix bones, tell your friends about Orthoflow and give us an app store rating! No really, go on, give us a rating! ## Apps similar to OrthoFlow | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Oxford Acute Medicine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oxford-acute-medicine/id6475484290) | 4.8 (5) | Free | Medical | | [Teach Me Surgery](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/teach-me-surgery/id1482336964) | 4.8 (226) | Free | Medical | | [Oxford Emergency Medicine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oxford-emergency-medicine/id6475311599) | 5.0 (6) | Free | Medical | | [Oxford General Practice](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oxford-general-practice/id6473803812) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Medical | | [Eolas Medical](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eolas-medical/id6447954935) | 4.2 (353) | Free | Medical | | [Bedside EM](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bedside-em/id413192645) | 4.2 (60) | Free | Medical | ## Related topics [ortho traumapedia](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ortho-traumapedia) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
