GPS with Surgeon’s Checklist™ software
Low cost, technologically advanced outcome for the orthopedic surgeon
• Radlink intra-operative radiographic information offers best quality image, lowest cost, ease of use, quick results and superior patient outcomes.
• Improves productivity and quality of THA, TKA and other implant procedures.
• Enables correct placement of implants in virtually all situations. Hospital avoids ACA penalties for readmission and complications.
• Checklist developed through close working relationships with leading Posterior Approach (Brad Penenberg) and Anterior Approach (Joel Matta) surgeons .

POSTERIOR APPROACH
• Images appear in four seconds.• Surgeon's Checklist™ ensures proper implant fit. • Supervision allows us to be online with any Radlink unit.• PACS provides access to pre-op images .• Template software can be imbedded in pre or intra-op image.• Wireless. Works with any X-ray generator in market.• Quantitative data for surgeon to defend his practice in litigation• Image viewing area is 2-4x that of C-Arm (regular/mini)
3
Posterior Approach THA
• Patient position: automatically draws reference lines to reconcile position• Calculates pelvic inlet diameter (Tilt) ratio to compare pre-op and intra-op
tilt• Automatically prompts patient rotation correction suggestions• Limb length measurement: automatic with either teardrop or trans-ischial
line• Offset measurement• Cup abduction angle measurement• Cup anteversion angle measurement• Precise magnification calculation
4
Anterior Approach THA• Connects to any C-Arm.• Surgeon's Checklist™ ensures proper implant fit.• Radiographic ellipse overlay for inclination and anteversion angles.• LLD and offset can be measured/verified by digital overlay of pre-op and
intra-op limbs, on full AP pelvis taken on 12” C-Arm, or by stitching operative and contra-lateral images together.
5
Anterior Approach THA• Ilioischial line to tear drop angle allows for accurate inclination.• Software auto-detects bony landmarks.• Eliminates cost and time of printing and shortens surgery times.• No need to break scrub – use sterile instrument and touch screen.

Incidence of Cup Malpositioning with Conventional THA
Callanan M., Jarrett B., Bragdon C., Zurakowski D., Rubash H., Frieberg A., Malchau H., Risk Factors for Cup Malpositioning, Clin Orthop Relat Res (2011) 469:319-329
•Retrospective study at Massachusetts General Hospital•Evaluated Post-op AP pelvis and cross-table lateral radiographs on 1750 patients who underwent primary THA or revision (1709 hips were primary THA)•Defined acceptable abduction range as 30◦ - 45◦ and acceptable anteversion range as 5◦ to 25◦
Results•63% of cups were within the abduction range•79% of cups were within the anteversion range•Only 50% of cups were in the range for both abduction and anteversion range

Radlink GPS – Clinical DocumentationIntraoperative digital radiography: An opportunity to assure1
Penenberg et al.
Methodology
Consecutive prospective evaluation of 139 primary THAs using digital radiography1
AP radiography with patient in the lateral decubitus position taken after acetabular component placement and femoral trial insertion
Implant position and sizing were adjusted according to the radiograph
Final intraoperative film was compared to a postoperative standard radiograph in supine position at 2 weeks postoperatively to verify the accuracy of intraoperative digital imaging.

Results
In 98% of cases, intraoperative measurements were within 5◦ of postoperative onesIn 90% of cases, intraoperative measurements were within 3◦ of postoperative onesThe mean intraoperative cup abduction angle was 40 ◦ (range 23◦-52◦) and the mean postoperative cup abduction angle was 41◦ (range 25◦-55◦)Cup orientation was adjusted in 10% of casesFemoral component was upsized in 55% of casesIntraoperatively measured limb length discrepancy and offset were within 3mm of the post-operative measurement in all cases

Radlink Economic Value PropositionReduces time/cost required for intraoperative imaging in posterior approach cases
• GPS offers 4 second x-ray vs. 12 minutes to process film
• Time savings result in reduced cost per case of approximately $8,000
• Total time for intraoperative x-ray and measurements is less than 2 minutes per case (does not require extra time like navigation)
Eliminates the need to print out C-arm images during anterior approach cases
• Estimated cost to print C-arm images @ 12 cases/week = $11,000/year
*Assumes 4 intra-operative x-rays are taken per case and assumes OR time is valued at $100-$200 per minute
Radlink GPS Economic Value Proposition
Potential to reduce incidence of dislocation and associated costs of closed reductions and revision surgery •Ability to verify proper cup position with GPS may reduce incidence of dislocation
•Improper cup position is leading cause of dislocation
•In one study summarizing costs of hip dislocation following primary THA at Mayo Clinic, hospital saw total of 99 dislocations over 5-year period.1
•Dislocation resulted in $2,433 additional cost per closed reduction and $13,717 additional cost per revision surgery ¹
•Total institutional cost over 5-year period was $718,713 ($143,743/year)*

*Costs included operating room and implants, hospital and nursing, orthopedic surgeon, pharmacy, physical therapy, laboratory medicine, anesthesia, radiology, central supply, internal medicine consults, and pathology
Radlink GPS Economic Value Proposition
May reduce re-admission penalties•With GPS, x-ray normally taken in recovery room is now taken before closing up
•Medicare charges $265,000 for each excess readmission after knee or hip replacement surgery that is above the U.S. average
Potential to reduce litigation•Use of GPS to compare limb length of operative and non-operative side may reduce incidence of leg length discrepancy
•Limb length discrepancy is leading reason for malpractice suits in orthopedics
