HipToolboxApp 17+

This Bundle is really a toolbox of useful apps especially to hip surgeon. A great idea and a novel integration of technology that uses the camera, touch screen, and computational power to help surgeons measure X-ray and compare with normal values extracted from textbook in sec.
The Bundle incorporates 5 Apps, Hip dysplasia App, Hip biomechanics app ,Femoral anteversionApp, NeckSaftangleApp and AcetabularAnteversionApp.These are medical softwares aimed for orthopaedic surgeons. In a busy everyday practice, the examiner have to draw lines in X-rays or in clinical settings, this it is time consuming ,tedious and cumbersome. Accessory instruments like protractors, hinged goniometers, well sharped pencils, rulers or even transparent papers must be available. The bundle offers 5 apps which make common radiographic measurements in a blink of an eye in front of your screen an easy as a game. The build in feature of the apps, allows results to be categorized according the data from normal reference database extracted by the International medical Literature, this feature may help decide what could be considered normal or pathologic. The apps are not simple goniometers, are enhanced products which helps to monitor objectively the course of the treatment and evaluate optimally the hip. This Apps are particular useful in clinical settings where you need a quick results without losing time In Hip biomechanics app, the app approximate true biomechanical conditions in hip as realistically as possible ,now we are able to predict the biomechanical effect on load and pressure of an operative procedure by computational means. In Hip dysplasia App by marking few points at the image of X-ray the measurements of Indexes like the Acetabular Index (AI), the Center-Edge (CE), the Acetabular Depth-Width Ratio (ADR), the femoral head extrusion index or Reimer Index (RI), the Congruity Index (CI), the Sharp’s angle (SA), Tonnis grade of dislocation (TG), the Acetabular Index of the Weight-Bearing Zone (AIW) or Horizontal Toit externe angle (HTE), and Congruence Index (CG)are done in seconds. Gender age and side-specific normal reference databases are used and in cases where values are out of normal ranges, the hips are categorized according the measured Indexes.
The softwares are class II medical device in the FDA. All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! The Apps are indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.The software is not for primary image interpretation.
