Abstract: A computerized method provides remote access to orthopaedic triage services. A user accesses a computerized graphical interface having at least one of a first graphical interface for input of data including personal metrics, a second interface for input of answers to standardized functional impairment queries, and a third interface for input of prior surgery or injury queries. The user uploads a radiographic image file. One or more of the data categories are tabulated, weighted, and combined to define a computerized preliminary factor. The uploaded radiographic image is analyzed to obtain a standardized score corresponding to the severity of bone or joint damage shown on the image, the standardized score being weighted, and combined, by the computer with the preliminary factor to obtain a final score. The final score is compared by the computer with the scores obtained from evidence based clinical studies to obtain a ranking and ultimate reporting.

Abstract: A reference frame is described for use in a radiographic procedure. The reference frame is positionable relative to a joint or bone to be imaged, and is radio-transparent. The frame has embedded or affixed thereto a plurality of computer recognizable radio opaque markers. A method of obtaining three dimensional images of bones and joints using the frame is described.

Abstract: A knee prosthesis, includes a femoral element, a tibial element and at least one bearing element between the femoral and tibial components. The femoral component has medial and lateral condylar elements that extend posteriorly about 160°.

Abstract: A method for determining the transverse axis for flexion of a condylar ended bone comprises the steps of: conducting a computer tomographic (CT) scan from the end of the condyles inwardly, transverse to the transverse axis of the limb (or extremity) with the joint flexion plane facing forwardly. One then selects the CT slice image exhibiting maximum epicondylar width and establishes a line between the epicondyles at the widest extent. A line is then established joining the posterior condylar tangents on the CT image. Measured lines are established from the posterior condylar tangent line at right angles to the said line between said epicondyles; and then the transverse axis of motion as referenced from the transepicondylar line is obtained.
