AO Surgery Reference vs OsteoPlan

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.

OsteoPlan is an all-in-one orthopaedic planning, measurement, operative note, and case management app for surgeons and trainees. Designed by an Orthopaedic Surgeon, it is built around real clinical workflows for planning, documentation, teaching, and follow-up. Measure coronal and sagittal limb alignment, classify knee phenotypes, plan osteotomies, simulate corrections, calculate wedge sizes, and document cases with structured images, notes, scores, follow-ups, and exports. All core tools are included free. Key Features Limb Alignment Analysis Measure HKA, MPTA, LDFA, JLCA, PTS, PDFA, SJLA, and other coronal/sagittal knee alignment parameters using point-based marking, draggable landmark labels, and visual axis display. CPAK Classification Use knee alignment measurements to generate CPAK classification with type-specific visual results. Osteotomy Planning Plan and simulate HTO, DFO, and Double-Level Osteotomy. Calculate correction angles, wedge sizes, predicted alignment, and visualize correction on radiographs. Clinical Measurement Tools Dedicated workflows for knee, shoulder, hip, spine, trauma, and general orthopaedic measurements. Spine Tools Measure Cobb angle, coronal balance, sagittal vertical axis, pelvic parameters, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis. Trauma Tools Assess common trauma angles including distal radius parameters, Böhler’s angle, Gissane’s angle, Meary’s angle, Kite’s angle, Baumann’s angle, neck-shaft angle, acetabular index, and critical shoulder angle. Structured Case Storage Store patient details, BMI, clinical scores, images, intra-operative findings, post-operative records, OT notes, and follow-ups in organized folders. OT Notes & Templates Create structured operative notes with guided templates for common orthopaedic procedures, implant details, rehabilitation protocols, and review dates. Export & Backup Export annotated images, PDFs, OT notes, or complete case folders as ZIP files. Supports cloud backup options for safer data continuity. Designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with Apple Pencil support on iPad.
