planning software developed primarily to facilitate preoperative planning of corrective osteotomies.
It is the right choice for those who want to fully
DEERcad was primarily developed to allow the use of specific tools to elegantly perform a Paley angular analysis and subsequently simulate a corrective osteotomy. Its main advantage is the ability to monitor in real time the change in geometric proportions during opening or closing of the wedge osteotomy. This gives you a precise idea of the impact of the intended procedure on all relevant parameters (limb axis, joint line orientation…).
The orthopaedic literature is replete with recommendations on how to quantitatively assess the results of imaging examinations. One example is the postoperative check of the femoral insertion of the ACL on lateral projection radiographs using the quadrant method. Without specialized tools, it is unrealistic to incorporate these procedures into daily practice. With DEERcad you can draw all the quadrants in 3 clicks!
Whether you want to measure sonograms according to Graf or analyze angles on an X-ray of a child's pelvis, you won't go wrong with DEERcad. For all these cases we have developed specific tools to get you to your target in the most efficient way.

High tibial osteotomy

In less common cases, the deformity originates from the distal femur. Here, DFO is the treatment of choiceDouble level osteotomy
