Orthopedics
Medical imaging workflows, surgical planning tools, and comprehensive rehabilitation tracking for orthopedic specialists
09:20 — a knee MRI and a limping athlete land in the same slot.
A sports-medicine patient arrives for a pre-operative review with fresh imaging. TUCAN reads the DICOM series, surfaces the relevant findings alongside the surgical plan, and drafts the operative-planning note the surgeon confirms in seconds — so the joint-replacement pathway, implant selection, and follow-up schedule are set, documented, and coded before the consult ends.
What your practice gains
Findings surfaced sooner
Imaging findings are ranked and surfaced before the surgeon opens the chart.
Recovery kept in view
Rehabilitation progress is read across visits and flagged when it stalls.
Notes that keep pace
Visit documentation is drafted from the encounter and imaging instead of typed afterward.
Coding without the afterthought
The matching GOÄ/EBM code is proposed with each note, so nothing billable slips away.
Follow-up that carries itself
Rehabilitation reviews are scheduled with prior imaging and plans carried forward automatically.
Clinical Use Cases
Joint Replacement Pathway
End-to-end workflow from pre-operative assessment through surgery to post-operative rehabilitation milestones.
Sports Medicine
Injury assessment, treatment planning, and return-to-play protocols for athletic patients and teams.
Fracture Management
Fracture classification, casting documentation, and healing progression tracking with imaging comparisons.
What changes for your practice
Imaging & planning intelligence
AI reads musculoskeletal imaging as it arrives and hands the surgeon structured findings tied to the operative plan.
- DICOM findings surfaced against the surgical plan and prior studies
- Templated surgical planning with implant sizing and positioning
- Range-of-motion and outcome measures tracked across the pathway
Documentation that writes itself
Operative reports, consult notes, and coding are drafted from the encounter instead of typed after it.
- Structured operative and consult notes generated from the visit
- Implant registry data captured against the record automatically
- One-click correction rather than blank-page dictation
Continuity of care
Rehabilitation tracking, recalls, and remote checks keep post-surgical and injury patients on track without manual chasing.
- Automated rehab milestone scheduling and progress reminders
- Side-by-side outcome-measure trends across the recovery pathway
- Remote follow-up consults with the full injury and imaging history in view
The connected pipeline
Imaging intake
X-ray, MRI, and CT studies flow into the record and are matched to the patient's injury history.
AI findings
TUCAN analyzes the DICOM series, surfaces relevant findings, and links them to the surgical planning template.
Surgeon review
The surgeon confirms or adjusts the findings, selects the implant, and records the operative plan in the chart.
Structured note + coding
A structured operative or consult note is generated and the matching GOÄ/EBM billing code is attached automatically.
Rehabilitation follow-up
Rehab milestones, outcome measures, and recalls are scheduled with the injury and imaging history carried forward.
How the data moves
Imaging intake
Radiographs and history are captured through structured, device-linked forms.
TUCAN findings
Imaging is read into structured findings with change and planning signals.
FHIR record
Imaging, findings, and plans are written to the patient's structured clinical record.
Structured note + coding
A visit note is drafted from the reviewed encounter for the surgeon to confirm.
Rehabilitation schedule
Recovery reviews are scheduled with prior imaging and plans carried forward.
Where the AI works
Each agent owns a distinct part of the orthopedic workflow, so the clinician stays in control of every decision.
Reads radiographs into structured findings and flags changes since prior imaging before the surgeon opens the chart.
Drafts the structured visit note and surgical plan from the reviewed encounter for one-click correction.
Guides imaging intake and rehabilitation steps, keeping recovery reviews on track.
