QUICK ONLINE REFERENCE IN CLINICAL LIFE Gain easy access to the award-winning AO Surgery Reference. AO Surgery Reference is an online repository for surgical knowledge. It describes the complete surgical management process from diagnosis to aftercare for all fractures of a given anatomical region, and also assembles relevant material that the AO has published before. It gives access to:   • aid in surgical decision making for 353 fracture types • 172 approaches • 1222 surgical procedures • all richly illustrated with more than 30'000 Illustrations and much more. To ensure the quality of the content, it is authored, edited, and peer reviewed by experienced AO Faculty from all over the world, some of which are also well-known textbook authors/editors. This is a relaunch of the AO Surgery Reference app utilizing the same responsive user interface that was released February 2020. The highlights are: • Consistent navigational logic and user experience on all screen sizes • Inclusion of feline, canine, and equine fracture care • Combination of Preparation – Approach – Reduction and Fixation – Aftercare into one step called treatment. • Introduction of a powerful search function, allowing simplifications of the user interface as it replaces previous shortcuts.

The Biomet Orthosize software is indicated for assisting health care professionals with the pre-operative planning of orthopedic surgery. The application allows for overlaying of prosthesis templates on radiological images, and includes tools for performing measurements on the image and for positioning of templates. The Biomet Orthosize app is not intended to replace the desktop application. The Biomet Orthosize app was designed as a companion app to enable the user to review and/or modify images that have previously been saved from the Biomet Orthosize desktop application. The Biomet Orthosize software requires all users to register an account with Biomet, accept the User Agreement, and is designed to template only Biomet products. The system allows surgeons to provide sales representatives with access to patient information, as part of the patient care process, for surgical planning preparation. However, surgeons are ultimately responsible for implant selection. Surgeons will need to provide Biomet with written permission for specified sales representative(s) to access patient data in furtherance of the care of such patient. Such permission requests should be emailed to orthosize@biomet.com. Visit www.orthosize.com to register for a user account.
