TraumaCad by Orthocrat, the industry's leading digital orthopedic surgical planning solution, will showcase the latest upgrades to its dynamic TraumaCad software at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) conference, February 14-16 in San Diego.

TraumaCad 2.0 offers enhanced surgical planning options for orthopedic procedures. It expands upon the feature-rich, user-friendly, Web-based functionality of the original version by offering surgeons additional resources that enable more thorough and accurate planning of foot, spine, hip, and trauma surgeries. The new version also provides more reporting options.

"TraumaCad 2.0 improves an already powerful tool that orthopedic surgeons worldwide use to plan complicated as well as more standard procedures," said Zeev Glozman, Orthocrat's founder and CEO. "It offers improved tools for measurement, labeling, and implant positioning - all of which were developed by our experienced team of surgeons and engineers."

Specialized templates simplify planning for the most common types of orthopedic surgery. Highlights of TraumaCad 2.0 include the following:

-- Foot and ankle procedures: Provides multiple measurement tools, including a wizard that assists in planning accurate foot osteotomies.

-- Spinal surgery: Facilitates preoperative planning for spinal deformity corrections, offers vertebra labeling, and simplifies implant positioning.

-- Post-total hip replacement: Allows surgeons to visualize wear measurement, projected leg lengths, and offset changes. Cup abduction and stem versions are also available.

-- Trauma surgery: Improves implant manipulation with visualization of a wide variety of locking plates and a grouping of implants and fragments.

-- Reporting: Offers improved perioperative reports, including templated images, selected implants, and a wide variety of measurement and patient positioning options.

-- TraumaCad 3D: Guides surgeons through all pre-surgical planning steps while allowing total freedom in visualizing clinical decisions. It enables greater accuracy and simplicity when compared to traditional templating techniques.

"TraumaCad 2.0's advanced software provides surgeons with the specific tools, instruments, and implants they need to plan a full range of orthopedic surgeries," Glozman said. "By allowing users to archive preoperative plans with patient files and view them in the operating room, our software ultimately shortens procedure times. It seamlessly integrates with any PACS and displays images from a full range of modalities. TraumaCad 2.0 more fully meets the needs of surgeons and enables them to benefit from digital imaging & PACS"

As part of its AAOS exhibit, Orthocrat will also present TraumaCad 3D-the markets first 3D templating solution.
