Sports physicians and radiologists benefit from intuitive diagnostic imaging and enhanced decision-making for quick, precise HTO or DFO procedures, double-level or rotational osteotomies needed for sports-related injuries and musculoskeletal healthcare. In the two special modules “Patellofemoral Measurements” and “Corrective Osteotomy”, all necessary measurements and preoperative planning functions are available for orthopedic and sports medicine clinicians. Each module delivers quick measurements of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint, allowing for easier planning of osteotomies to restore musculoskeletal health. Patellofemoral Measurements In the patellofemoral joint, muscle injury pathologies include patellar maltracking as well as atellar dislocation. Malpositions, abnormalities and ligament damage of lower extremities due to athletic injuries can easily be identified with the available portfolio of measurements listed below. Measurement Options: TT-TG distance TT-PCL distance (CT/MRI) Sulcus angle Trochlear depth Measurement of leg axis Determination of patella angle Definition of patella height (Insall-Salvati, Caton-Deschamps) Femoral torsion (according to Waidelich and Schneider) Tibial torsion (according to Waidelich and Jend) Trochlear classification according to Dejour Corrective Osteotomy A corrective osteotomy for sports injuries mainly addresses pathologies inside the patellofemoral joint, which are often due to patellar maltracking and malrotation of the distal femur. These abnormalities, affecting both bone and soft tissue, can be identified via imaging modalities delivered by medical imaging or musculoskeletal radiology providers.
