How Hospitals Can Benefit from Digital Orthopaedic Planning
Preoperative planning and templating enable orthopaedic surgeons to prepare for joint replacement surgery, limit the risk of intraoperative complications, and improve patient communication. These advantages translate into direct benefits for the hospital as well, ranging from more efficient implant stock management to a significant reduction in complications and patient complaints.
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Ross Barker (United Kingdom), explains why the hospital benefits when he uses Materialise OrthoView to digitally plan orthopaedic cases.

Dr. Barker considers preoperative, digital planning key for joint replacement surgeries: “Digitally planning hip replacement cases is the safest, the most accurate, and the most responsible way to prepare to operate on a patient for joint replacement surgery.”
But the benefits offered by preoperative orthopaedic templating stretch far beyond the surgeon’s theatre. In this second episode of our interview series, learn about the advantages of digital planning for hospitals as it enables them to:
- Plan ahead in terms of equipment requirements
