CobbAngleApp vs Orthopedic Classification

Cobb method is considered the standard for measuring curve size in scoliosis. Cobb angles are always measured from the superior end plate of the most cephalad end vertebra to the inferior end plate of the most caudal end vertebra in the curve. Meticulous line drawings and precise measurements is paramount importance in order to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities and monitor the success or failure of treatment for scoliosis. The CobbAngleApp 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 way to determine the most accurate possibly way at once. By marking four points at the same X-ray, at each spine the App calculates the Cobb angle. In cases where values are out of normal ranges, the scoliosis is categorized according to measured angle as mild, moderate, severe. To simplify the process and to minimize inter-observer errors usually by not selecting the actual end vertebra, the app offers also in ext mode the ability to draw the vertical reference line through the patient’s sacrum and to identify more easily the end vertebrae s (ext method). -Save the planned images, the measured values and results compared by normal reference databases, for later review or consultation. -The app also is independent from errors produced by image inclination. Especially developed module allows the user to measure accurately without to worry about the tilting of the picture or the X-ray. All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! CobbAngleApp indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation. In a busy everyday practice, the examiner have to draw lines in X-rays or in clinical settings, this it is time consuming and cumbersome. Accessory instruments like protractors, hinged goniometers, well sharp pencils, rulers or even transparent papers must be available. The app offers a very convenient and also accurate way to perform most common radiographic measurements for spine, in a blink of an eye in front of your screen. The build in feature of the app, allows results to be categorized may help decide what could be considered normal or pathologic. The app is not a simple goniometer, is an enhanced product which helps to monitor objectively the course of the treatment and evaluate optimally the spine. This App is particular useful especially in clinical settings where you need a quick results without losing time.

Orthopedic Classification App for iOS is an application designed for orthopedic residents, specialists and medical students interested in the study of orthopedic surgery and the classification of fractures and orthopedic diseases. Orthopedic surgery classification pro app for iOS contains all classification systems of bone fractures such as the classification of humeral head fractures (Neer classification) and the classification of orthopedic diseases such as the classification of femoral head osteonecrosis (Vicat classification). The application was divided into two main parts: 1. Orthopedic Fractures Classification. 2. Orthopedic diseases classification. Each section was classified according to anatomical regions: 1. Shoulder 2. Elbow 3. Wrist and hand 4. Pelvis and hip 5. Knee 6. Ankle and foot. There is also MCQs quiz to review your knowledge in orthopedic classification system. The orthopedic classification was presented briefly by means of tables in an easy-to-understand manner and provided with schematic and x-ray. Orthopedic Classification App does not need an internet connection to work, it's totally offline. The application will be updated periodically, adding new and updated information and improving the performance of the application. You can also search the app by classification name or fracture type. Orthopedic Classification App pro version Features: 1. Totally Ads-Free 2. Add to favorite feature. 3. Search the whole app by classification name.
