ACL-X -- The Smartphone App for ACL Surgery!
This App was developed for knee surgeons performing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and using intraoperative fluoroscopy to increase precision of bone tunnel placement.
By means of supporting lines that you can overlay virtually over the X-ray photograph in the app, the app can calculate the relative distance of the target point for the k-wire for a femoral or tibial surgery.
In the medical literature, femoral measurement of a radiographic image is known as quadrant method by Bernard and Hertel. It may help knee surgeons identify the ideal position for bone tunnel placement during ACL reconstruction.
