WhereMyCup vs Orthopedic Classification

Evaluation of functional spinopelvic imaging in lateral radiographs in sitting and standing positions is of importance, especially in patient before total hip replacement surgery. Patients with concomitant hip and spine pathology undergoing primary total hip were identified as being at high risk for dislocation. Instability-prone patients arhtroplasty (THA) should appropriately assessed for the presence of deformity and abnormal spinopelvic mobility. The preoperative planning for THA should encompass evaluation of functional spinopelvic imaging in lateral radiographs in sitting and standing positions. Before planning cup position the surgeon should taken into account also anterior pelvic plane (APP) the coronal (functional) plane and the anterior pelvic plane tilt APPt or pelvic tilt and abnormal spinopelvic mechanics from standing to sitting. The App is software aimed for orthopaedic surgeons, and allow to: -securely import medical images directly from the camera or stored photos. - mark certain points at the image of X-ray, and calculate at once the anterior pelvic plane tilt (APPt) or pelvic tilt , Pelvic incidence (PI), Sacral slope (SS), Lumbar lordosis (LL), Pelvic incidence Angle (PI) minus Lumbar lordosis Angle (LL)(PI–LL). -to classify the patient into one of four Categories of the Hip-Spine Classification (1A,1B,2A,2B) by integrating spinal alignment (spinal deformity defined at PI-LL mismatch >10 degree(1) -cases are categorised to group-specific recommendations for acetabular cup position respectively thus with minimal measurements will effectively identify the complex “hip-spine” THA patient at high risk for postoperative instability (1). -save the planned images, for later review or consultation.The measured values are exported as txt file, ready to print or to input as cells to excel for research. -in case of wrong selection powerful undo feature is present. -According to measured parameters in standing and sitting lateral x- rays - based n a busy everyday practice, app offers a convenient way to perform radiographic measurements for spine, at the spinopelvic juncture - combing sitting and standing X-Rays, in a blink of an eye in front of your screen. The build in features of the app, allows results to be categorized and may help identify the complex “hip-spine” THA patient at high risk for postoperative instability and helps planning the optimum cup placement. All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! App indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.The software is not for primary image interpretation.

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.
