In 2019, an award-winning study theorized the development of periprosthetic cysts post a total ankle replacement could be reliably predicted from the degree of misalignment calculated from a post-op weight bearing CT (WBCT) scan. The international team of researchers behind…
Pictured above: Luis Carrasco, Jr., 18, was the first patient to be scanned in Orthopaedic Institute for Children's HiRise weight bearing CT system, which was installed in April 2022. This is a repost of a press release. LOS ANGELES -…
Weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging holds tremendous promise for improving pediatric diagnostics. The CurveBeam HiRise provides unprecedented 3D views of the hip and pelvis while the patient is standing. "WBCT may be able to visualize changes in measures of hip…
Key Points: WBCT studies showed each Kellgren-Lawrence grade of knee osteoarthritis has its own characteristic hindfoot alignment due to the effect of knee joint varus. WBCT studies showed As knee OA worsens, compensatory knee joint alignment depends on the ankle…
Current Standard of Care MRI is the current standard of care for non-invasive visualization of the cartilage and menisci. However, absence of weight bearing limits evaluation of these structures in a functional position. Value Proposition CBCT Arthrogram Weight Bearing CT…
Ritesh Durgapersad, RT(R) ARMIT The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a major stabilizer of the distal radioulnar joint. An injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex can result in chronic wrist pain. TFCC tears can be difficult to diagnose via imaging…
Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) has been shown to be a reliable method to diagnose syndesmotic instability. Yet when it comes to syndesmosis reduction, a common concern for physicians is clamp mispositioning. A team of researchers at Foot & Ankle Research…
KEY POINTS: Layers of security are built into Efferent Health’s technology solutions to protect critical patient and practice data. Effective security measures can reduce IT issues and give providers more time with their patients. Efferent Health creates, deploys, and manages…
KEY POINTS: Current healthcare processes are cumbersome and costly. Common healthcare IT applications automate processes without identifying if the processes are worth keeping. If utilized properly, technology can increase efficiencies and reduce costs throughout the healthcare system. One of…
KEY POINTS: Understanding the economic landscape of healthcare in the United States. Cuellar completed a 14-year study that identified the economic challenges associated with running a private orthopaedic practice. Cuellar’s award-winning research led to the foundation of Efferent Health with…
