Joint replacement operations are one of the most difficult in the field of traumatology and orthopedics, as they require taking into account many factors: the size of the prosthesis, its position in the patient's body, the difference in the length of the limbs, etc.

A significant role in the success of such surgical interventions is played by the process of planning the operation. This solution, which is part of the DIGIPAX line of IT healthcare informatization solutions, is a digital tool for planning hip and knee replacement operations. The developed subsystem helps the doctor to choose the most suitable prosthesis, allowing to perform manual and automatic positioning of endoprosthesis elements on the X-ray image, to carry out radiomorphometric measurements of key indicators of development and pathologies of the bone-joint system, as well as to form specialized protocols with the results of the module.

The collaboration between the medical community and the development team represents a symbiosis of the experiences and competencies of the two leading health organizations. NMIC TO named after R.R. Vreden with a wealth of experience in the practical execution of hip arthroplasty operations brings valuable clinical experience and expertise. RTK Radiology, in turn, provides a high level of technological support and innovative solutions.

As of April 2024, the module is used in the work of the Center in St. Petersburg and in medical institutions of the Volgograd Region.

R.R. Vreden Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics is one of the leading medical institutions in Russia specializing in orthopedics and traumatology. The institution has a rich clinical experience, a high level of professionalism of employees and advanced technologies in the field of surgical treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Our specialists actively participate in research activities, development of innovative methods of treatment and training of specialists. We believe that joint development will help doctors in the process of planning operations to replace the hip and knee joints - said Andrei Petrovich Sereda, Deputy Director of the National Medical Research Center TO named after R.R. Vreden.

Thanks to the practical experience of specialists of the National Medical Research Center of TO named after R.R. Vreden in surgery, it was possible to create a solution that helps in the work of a doctor, making it convenient and increasing the accuracy of planning orthopedic operations. We hope that joint work will increase the availability of joint replacement operations and improve the quality of life of patients after surgical interventions, "commented Andrey Dolgov, Deputy Technical Director of RTK Radiology.
