Bone deformities of the proximal extremity of the humerus can be degenerative or traumatic. Thanks to new technologies such as mediCAD® 3D Shoulder, the surgical advantages in the preoperative planning of inverse shoulder prostheses have been significantly improved. As a result, the implantation of inverse shoulder prostheses has increased significantly in the field of orthopedic surgery.

With mediCAD® Web consultation of an area of interest can be done within a few clicks. Planning works even more effectively and quickly thanks to automatic measurement functions and corrections in a modern user interface with intuitive, reduced workflow. With careful, well-structured preoperative planning, a more patient-friendly environment is established because key information can be shared easily at all stages of patient care. Surgical teams run their planning on time, a fact, that contributes significantly to reducing delays and related operative costs.
In orthopedic terminology, arthroplasty is the name for surgery that aims to replace a damaged, or fractured joint with a prosthesis that is as close as possible to the original anatomy of the bone structures. mediCAD® 3D Hip plays a vital role in optimizing the outcome of complex surgery. Pre-operative and Post-operative planning with this state-of-the-art software contributes to patients progressing the desired levels of functionality earlier and also to avoid secondary problems.

Technological progress in visualisation techniques like 3D print support clinics in developing customised surgical solutions for patients. Due to the increasing development of technologies and, thus, more complex surgical interventions, better surgery preparation, digital planning and further qualification of doctors are needed. Especially for pre-operation planning 3D models can help create realistic and customised pathologies of the anatomic regions affected and support at therapy decision, or they help visualise the actual situation to doctors-to-be and give them the possibility to simulate the operation in advance.
mediCAD® offers you the possibility to plan the surgical procedure in the best possible way.
Only preoperative planning enables an optimal result. Here mediCAD® Classic supports you in the best possible way. You are guided step by step through the planning and receive essential information for the operation, such as stem and, if necessary, cup size, leg length difference, femoral offset, CCD angle, and much more information.
Is it the "End of an Era" like Riviere et al. claim, which happens now to mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty?
At mediCAD® we think a lot about how to make the currently 20-30% unsatisfied TKA patients happy, and we know, since results are consistent throughout many countries with sufficient statistics, that there must be a systematic error in the implant alignment technique performed so far. Where can this error be?
