OrthoGon Vet is a specialized tool integrated into your MUSICA® Workstation to assist with complex orthopedic veterinary measurements. It provides easy-to-use, interactive 2D measurement schemes that enable you to analyze anatomy and pathology for small animals and equines.
“OrthoGon Vet enables veterinarians to do the measurements immediately, without having to export the images. From my research on canine hip dysplasia, as well, I have found that it is very helpful for veterinarians to be able to perform these laxity measurements right in their practice. This is the case not only for diagnosis and treatment of an affected dog, but also for breeding purposes, which has the potential to decrease the incidence of hip dysplasia,” describes Dr. Vandekerckhove.
OrthoGon Vet for small animals is a high-quality, dedicated measurement tool designed to meet veterinarians’ needs for companion animal care.
With OrthoGon Vet, you can quickly perform standard measurements, compare them to prior measurements, and benchmark them against normative values. This gives you greater confidence in diagnosing orthopedic disorders and deformities.
Measures the relative heart size on a laterolateral chest view, by totaling the long and short axis of the cardiac silhouette and scaled against the thoracic vertebral column.
The Norberg Angle is measured on a standard ventrodorsal hip extended (SVD) radiograph and is used as a criterion for hip joint laxity.
The Tibial Plateau Angle (TPA) is measured on a specific mediolateral view of the stifle and is the angle formed between the medial aspect of the tibial plateau and a line perpendicular to the mechanical axis of the tibia. The TPA angle is used in pre-operative planning and/or in surgical decision making for stifle osteotomy techniques.
The Patellar tendon Tibial plateau Angle (PTA) is the angle between the patellar tendon and the tibial plateau. Stifle osteotomy techniques strive to reach a PTA of approximately 90°.
The angle of inclination of the dorsal acetabular rim is determined by the intersection of a line perpendicular to the sagittal plane at the level of the center of the femoral heads and the tangent to the dorsal acetabular rim at the most lateral point of contact between the head of the femur and the dorsal acetabular rim. In normal patients, this angle is< 7.5 °
