Formus Hip
Overview
Formus Hip is the world’s first cloud-based, AI-automated 3D pre-operative planning software specifically designed for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). It transforms a patient’s CT scan into a fully interactive 3D model of the joint, enabling personalized implant selection and placement. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and computational biomechanics, Formus Hip automatically generates a ready-to-execute surgical plan in under an hour, significantly reducing the time and effort traditionally required for pre-operative planning. This innovative platform empowers surgeons with unprecedented insights, aiming to optimize fit and function, reduce the risk of revision surgeries, and improve overall patient outcomes while enhancing workflow efficiency and potentially reducing costs by up to 25%. The software provides a personalized curated patient surgical plan before the patient enters the operating room, including recommended implant types, sizes, positions, and orientations, along with intraoperative measurements.

What Physicians Need to Know
Formus Hip offers automated, patient-specific 3D pre-operative planning for total hip arthroplasty, significantly reducing planning time to under an hour. This allows for more efficient workflow and personalized implant selection and placement. Surgeons can interactively review and adjust the AI-generated plans, providing a thorough understanding of each patient's unique anatomy and potentially improving surgical outcomes and reducing revision rates. The detailed reports generated are valuable for surgical execution.
Formus Hip is a cloud-based software that integrates by importing patient CT imaging studies from existing PACS systems. It includes an integrated database of orthopedic hip implant geometries to facilitate planning. Future developments aim to enable planning and post-operative assessment using 2D X-ray and fluoroscopy images.
