Ortho Traumapedia App Reviews

I bought this app as an EM physician hoping that it would help provide a quick visual guide to fracture classification and perhaps have some pearls on radiographic interpretation. The preview images certainly make it Look like this might be the case. In reality the application has very few images and mostly relies on text descriptions of injury patterns. This may be valuable for an ortho resident, but I think it is not a very good quick reference for emergency providers.

As an orthopedic surgery resident, this is the single best ortho application for the iPhone/iPod. It is very thorough, from a brief overview of the fracture/dislocation to classification to film to treatment. In essence, this app is handbook of fractures in your pocket. Recommended for medical students, residents, attendings or anyone who would love to learn more about this great field of medicine. It is very well organized, with smooth transition between subjects. One thing they could add (wishful thinking) would be a small question bank with OITE type questions. Either way, this is a superb app and will serve me well throughout residency.

I can no longer open when I updated to the new iOS. Please update! Thanks

Please update! Won’t open with updated iPhone

Good app but does not work with iOS 11

App was great before update. Now even better with addition of radiograph images. MUST HAVE for anyone in health profession dealing with Orthopedic Trauma.

Excellent resource! Relatively follows "Handbook or Fractures"

This app is definitely for the iPhone, not the iPad. You can increase the size of the screen on the iPad by 2, but the screen is distorted. A "let down" and not worth the money.

Great ap, but now not compatible with IOS 11

Despite being billed as a "condensed" reference, it is surprisingly comprehensive (e.g. it has a section on prox tib/fib dislocations; I'm pretty sure most people forget this even exists). I agree with one of the other reviews, this app could benefit from the judicious addition of more images but I believe the apparent accuracy and comprehensiveness of the information warrants the cost. Ideal for ortho professionals (who need a quick reference) and other inquisitive MSK healthcare providers (who are looking to learn).

 concise, accurate & useful app w nice interface, good pics & efficient delivery of info. perfect for anyone who cares for musculoskeletal injuries from primary care to ortho specialists, med students to residents to NPs, etc. well worth the cost. best ortho app I've seen.

As a PA this app is a great quick reference point. $10 is a little expensive, but it Is better than other ortho apps I have tried.

Loved you app but needs iOS 11 update. Can you possibly please try to update it? DO NOT BUY IF THEY DO NOT UPDATE THE APP. IT WILL NOT WORK!!

Text is good, but a picture is worth a lot of text and for some incomprehensible reason, there are only normal radiographs--no x-rays of fx or dislocations! Comparison of normal and fx/dislocation would be the single most useful feature of an ortho app, and this has none of that!

Very interested in if an update is coming to make this app compatible with the new iOS?!

Excellent app. Highest yield for the busy orthopaedic consult resident

This app has been helpful, however it no longer works for iOS 11. Please release compatible update. Thank you.

I am an ER physician and this app is very useful when you want to determine possibility of fractures or dislocations when you do not have a radiologist on call. Will recommend this to anyone. Worth the investment.

I’ve been looking for an app like this for quite some time. As a physical therapist at an academic trauma center, I treat a wide variety of ortho patients. Despite my 11 years of experience, it’s not uncommon for me to encounter some rare injury pattern or a treatment I'm not familiar with. I can’t tell you how nice it is to finally have an ortho trauma app on my phone. No more running to a computer to sift through internet sites or journal articles when all I need is some basic information. Granted, there’s some stuff here that PTs probably won’t need but I’m an inquisitive lady--I’d rather have a little more than less. I've also found that it helps me communicate with the docs better. And who doesn’t need that? So convenient and easy. Thanks!

Excellent. Just what I have looking for, a thorough and very readable fracture/dislocation/radiology guide that includes recommendations with great pics, explanations of what to look for on X-ray etc. Great job, I will rec'd to all my colleagues.

The app UI looks blown-up and fuzzy/blurry. Apparently they're taking the low resolution UI built for the iPhone 5/5S and just scaling it up to the iPhone 6 screen. Looks terrible. The app ought to be displayed at native resolution. But the content is by far the best ortho app on the App Store.

Usually a great app but they have not updated it to work with iOS 11 and I cannot use it now. I’ve tried to contact the developer with no response. Please update!!

Please update the software so it can be used with the most recent iOS.
