Surgeons, hospitals, clinical researchers, and University's are seeing tremendous advances in computer science for the operating room. Today’s clinicians have customized computer-generated models of patients to help diagnose conditions needing treatment. These treatments  can be rehearsed to create a precise surgical plan. Sound like science fiction? Not really. In fact for the orthopedic surgeon this is exactly what is currently available. A computer combines this information with three-dimensional medical images and displays the surgical plan, overlaid on the patient. The surgery is made safer, more precise and predictable.

Research clinical data already suggests the benefits from computer assisted surgery with the help of OrUpload (download document "OrUploadstudy".pdf using the download icon on the home page).

The Role Of OrUpload
Computer assisted surgery devices not only provide the advanced tools for surgeons but they collect a wealth of data unique to that patient. OrUpload automates the collection of this data and forms a searchable patient reporting outcome database. Just think of the possibilities. Surgeons can now see the patient’s outcomes in real time. Comparisons and correlations to previous cases enable the surgeons or researcher greater flexibility when searching. Imagine being able to search different implants, procedures, and a host of other patient reporting outcome fields. Surgeons and researchers can now electronically track the patient over the full surgical term using all the information collected, including pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative all consolidated into one area for searching either individually or as a group comparatively. Hospitals can address the larger questions of medical economics using an electronic based patient reporting system for departments or network wide uses. Medical device manufacturers can now track actual device use and patient results in the field, in real time, anywhere in the world. OrUpload can be used right now as a National Arthroplasty Registry electronic patient data collection system. OrUpload specializes in Orthopedics, Hospital based reporting committees, IRB electronic data capture and clinical research.
