OrthoGon Vet for small animals

Guided measurement tool embedded in the MUSICA® Workstation

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 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.

Orthogon Vet is available for both canine and feline measurements including

Vertical Heart Scale (VHS)

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.

Hip Dysplasia (HD)

The Norberg Angle is measured on a standard ventrodorsal hip extended (SVD) radiograph and is used as a criterion for hip joint laxity.

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO):

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.

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)

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°.

Distal Alignment Ratio (DAR):

DAR is used to evaluate the alignment of the distal femur relative to the mechanical axis of the limb. It helps you assess whether the distal part of the femur (the part closer to the knee) is properly aligned with the proximal femur (the part closer to the hip) and the overall limb axis.
