Abstract
We discuss five softwares commonly used for preoperative planning for high tibial osteotomy, namely MedWeb, TraumaCad, MediCad, Sectra and Photoshop. Each software has their own specialty and specification based on surgeon requirements. Detail of methods for each software is discussed. This paper aims to highlights the strength and weaknesses of the softwares. Our comparison shows that the selection of method to be used depends on the needs of the surgeon. The different software suitability discussed are axis used, users’ control capability, automatic wedge selection, CORA’s point, tibial slope, automatic measurement, and visualize correction. The results obtained from the comparative analysis are expected to aid in development innovative software for preoperative osteotomy planning, based on the strengths of each software discussed.
