Is the cruciate ligament model finished?
Not yet: it is marked “in progress.” Ligament, meniscal and chondral lesions and the four-strand hamstring reconstruction are in place; other grafts and rehabilitation will follow.
Which associated injuries can be shown?
The menisci (ramp lesion, longitudinal tear, bucket-handle tear, radial tear, root avulsion), cartilage, kissing bone bruises, the anterolateral ligament and the Segond fracture. Each one has its line in the findings given to the patient.
Are the models free?
Yes: the free plan opens every model, to show patients their diagnosis: most conditions and lesions. Treatments and other features are paid options.
Do I need an account?
Not to open a model, set the lesion and walk through the treatment. After about fifteen adjustments, you will be asked to create a free account: it saves your visits, picks them up from one time to the next, and records when the patient opens the link.
What equipment do I need?
Just a web browser, nothing to install: computer, tablet or TV screen in the exam room; the patient opens it on their phone. One click saves an image, without the interface, for the chart.
What happens to patient data?
No patient names are stored. The link given to the patient carries only the state of the model: lesion, treatment, language and visit date. A name written on the image you hand out stays on that image.
Which languages?
English, Spanish, French and Russian. The patient receives the model in the language chosen during the visit, which helps with the roughly 28 million people in the U.S. with limited English proficiency, alongside a qualified interpreter, not instead of one.
