Joint Replacement

OrthoView has been developed to offer a complete pre-operative planning and templating system for joint replacement.

Template Selection and Quality

OrthoView comes with a library of high quality digital templates. OrthoView templates are not scanned copies and are all created from original data to ensure accuracy.

OrthoView's extensive digital template portfolio has been developed in conjunction with the leading orthopaedic companies. For more information on our orthopaedic partners, click here.

Data supplied by the implant manufacturers is used to create the digital templates in line with their surgical guidelines. The process adopted by OrthoView for doing this is approved and verified by the manufacturer.

OrthoView's digital templates are updated regularly and managed via the web. New templates are added as data becomes available.

Range of Joints

OrthoView enables pre-operative templating for the following procedures:

• Total hips and partial (resurfacing)
• Total knees and partial (unicompartmental)
• Total shoulders and partial (resurfacing)

The Templating Process

OrthoView consists of a simple four step process. Scaling, Planning, Templating and Reporting. All, or a combination of, the four steps may be employed depending on the procedure to be planned.

A surgeon using OrthoView can template a hip in just 90 seconds!

OrthoView's QuickScale, one-click scaling allows for quick and accurate calibration of the image when using a sphere or disc shaped radiographic marker. Alternatively, if a marker has not been used, an estimated oversize percentage can be entered. For more information on image scaling and the use of radiographic markers, please download 'Scaling images in OrthoView'
OrthoView contains a number of intuitive Wizards. These are digital frameworks which can be positioned over key bony landmarks. Assessments made by the Wizards are used to size and position the digital templates. In addition, a number of clinical assessments can be made and recorded using OrthoView's toolset. Using the planning Wizards is not mandatory in OrthoView. Back to top
OrthoView recommends positions and sizes of templates if the planning Wizards have been used. Adjustments can easily be made by clicking through the sets of template options, or moving them manually. If the OrthoView Wizards have not been used, manual sizing and positioning of the digital template can be carried out. Back to top
A comprehensive report, including templated images is produced by OrthoView, for inclusion in patients notes and as a clinical audit trail. The report can be printed as a hard copy or to pdf, or it may be saved back into a PACS, to CD or to a local file. Back to top
