The endoprosthetics module supports you in planning hip implants. It is based on common, previously manually performed, planning methods for hip endoprosthetics using X-ray images and prosthesis templates. Quickly and specifically you can: - Fit a suitable cup and stamp combination - Correct an adduction or abduction - Determine the leg length compensation preoperatively and postoperatively and show it on the image - Benefit from the FAI module, which was developed in close cooperation with Dr. med. Wolfgang Zinser - Calculate and perform intertrochanteric osteotomies Automatic planning With the “Automatic planning” function in the Hip module, stems and cups can be suggested after automatic recognition of the relevant landmarks. mediCAD® offers very fast and efficient endoprosthetic preoperative planning with this function. Using a list of favourites, the automatic determination can be limited to an individually preferred manufacturer or implant configuration. Intertrochanteric osteotomy The “Intertrochanteric Osteotomy” function allows planning of a conversion osteotomy of the trochanter, the upper section of the femur. Based on the axial malposition, intertrochanteric osteotomy frequently offers the possibility to delay a use of a hip prosthesis. The function allows the resection line to be planned at the trochanter and then the angle of rotation to be defined at the resection. The osteotomy planned using this this rotational angle is generated in the planning image. The osteotomy angles can be changed flexibly here. A rotation at the femoral head can also be simulated.
