AI-Powered Automated Planning Software for Knee Osteotomy Surgery

healthMarket-readyTRL 9

Imagine trying to carve a precise piece of wood to fix a crooked table leg, but doing it while the table is already standing. That is how hard it is for surgeons to plan knee surgeries to fix bowlegs. This tool acts like a smart GPS that automatically calculates exactly where to cut in seconds, removing the guesswork. It helps patients keep their own joints instead of getting a metal replacement.

The business problem

What needed solving

Knee osteotomies are too complex to plan manually, leading surgeons to choose expensive joint replacements. This results in higher hospital costs, more medical waste, and poorer long-term patient mobility.

The solution

What was built

The PeekMed-Auto module, an AI-based software that fully automates the pre-operative planning of knee osteotomies using deep learning and image processing.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private Orthopedic Clinics

If you are a private clinic dealing with high rates of expensive joint replacements — this project developed an AI planning module that allows surgeons to perform less invasive osteotomies. This reduces the need for costly implants and shorter hospital stays.

Medical Software
enterprise
Target: Surgical Navigation Companies

If you are a software provider dealing with manual, error-prone preoperative tools — this project developed a deep learning system that automates planning in seconds. This increases surgical accuracy and reduces the risk of re-hospitalization.

Public Health
enterprise
Target: Government Hospital Networks

If you are a hospital network dealing with excessive costs from joint replacement inventory and sterilization — this project developed PeekMed-Auto to shift patients toward bone-preserving surgeries. This lowers the overall cost of care and reduces environmental pollution from medical waste.
