Brainlab | TraumaCad Mobile
TraumaCad is nothing new — I've been using it for several years. But, as
more of the healthcare industry moves to mobile technology, Brainlab's
newest update brings a more convenient platform to the surgical planning
system. Now available for the iPad, TraumaCad is able to help you pre-
operatively plan for hip and knee replacement surgery.
The app features highly accurate measurement tools and wizards, as
well as templates that are meant to help you prep and plan your surgery.
You just have to place a patient's information into the app and the technol-
ogy does the heavy lifting — like aligning implants and assembling compo-
nents to calculate leg length discrepancy and offset.
The app can be used with Brainlab's Quentry imaging sharing service, so
those involved with the surgery, like vendors and your materials manager,
can see upcoming surgeries and the implants and supplies needed. The
newest version is even easier and more intuitive to use, even if you haven't
used TraumaCad before. The hip version of the app is currently available
and the company says a knee version will be on the market shortly.
