Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia are the two primary causes of hip degeneration, leading to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as the final solution. Hip-preserving surgeries yield worse outcomes when the condition is detected late or significant degeneration has occurred. Additionally, the number of THAs performed in OECD countries is projected to increase substantially by 2050. Reading the large amount of radiographs associated with this poses several problems to orthopedists and radiologists:
Solutions
HIPPO™ presents a solution that enhances efficiency when reading pelvis radiographs. It significantly reduces daily workload for radiologists reading hip and pelvis x-rays, ensuring consistent and precise reporting. This helps eliminate subjectivity, especially for radiologists who read a high volume of x-rays daily. Furthermore, HIPPO's structured output streamlines the process and aids in identifying changes over time with a standardized methodology.
Product description
HIPPO™ supports the objective and standardized measurement of the most important hip angles based on digital x-rays. These include, for example, the CCD and LCE angles as well as numerous other relevant angles.
