The hip module supports the planning of hip implants. It is based on common, previously manual planning methods of hip endoprosthetics using x-rays and prosthesis templates.
*** With the latest version 2.x, automatic hip planning is also possible with .jpeg or .png files, allowing greater flexibility in the selection of image data. ***
Automatic planning:
After choosing the body side, the following landmarks automatically:
Reference line
Leg length difference
Femoral shaft axis left/right
Trochanter Major left/right

Recognized points can be adjusted manually if necessary. After confirmation of the landmarks, cups and shafts can be inserted directly. mediCAD® Web offers with this module a very fast and efficient endoprosthetic preoperative planning.
