CongruenceIndexApp vs Orthopedic Limbs Anatomy

Congruence is present when the center of the femoral head (ball) and that of the acetabulum (socket) coincide. Lack of hip congruence between the femoral head and the acetabulum leads to increased local contact stresses, degeneration and consequently to premature arthritis. Although corrective hip osteotomies for the realignment of the dysplastic acetabulum is the main goal of treatment strategies, if the joint space congruency remain fair this end up in failure. Joint congruency can be rated subjectively according to the surgeons experience but according to international literature, evaluation and monitoring hip joint congruency is crucial to judge and predict the outcome of treatment. The App measures objectively the congruence and gives values as percentage (Congruence Index) which can be used for evaluation or comparisons of treatments modalities like acetabular osteotomies in developmental dysplasia or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease of the hip. The CongruenceIndexApp is medical software aimed for orthopaedic surgeons, providing tools that allow doctors to: -Securely import medical images directly from the camera or stored photos -Offers a very convenient and most accurate possibly way to determine joint space congruency with two methods. With transparent circular template-Moses template- you try to find the best-fitted circle superimposed over the femoral head, you mark the femoral head center and with the same manner you locate the acetabular center of the weight bearing zone. When the center of the best-fitted circle of the acetabulum coincide with the center of the femoral head, the concruency of the joint is considered normal (CnI =100%).The app calculates automatically the congruency index. The results are printed as a percentage of congruency of the hip joint and the hip is categorized as normal or abnormal. -Save the planned images, for later review or consultation.

Limbs Anatomy Application is a simple tool that contains an explanation of the anatomy of the muscle in a simple briefing way. It's organized into upper extremity and lower extremity regions in addition to nerves of the upper and lower extremity, and each region is divided into the muscles of that region. Each muscle is explained as: the origin of the muscle, the insertion, the action, innervation and blood supply of the muscle. And each muscle section contains a simple image of it. Limbs Anatomy application is designed for medical students, orthopedic surgeon and any medical professional person who is interested in anatomy of the human body. ---------------------------------------- Features of the app: - Simple, beautiful UI. - Searching feature. - The app is totally offline (no need for internet connection) - It's organized in a simple and easy way. If you have any idea to develop the application, please feel free to contact us to submit it.
