OW Community

The entire OW staff wishes you a fantastic new year… As a matter of fact, this coming year will offer critical ads to the OrthoWave software suite. These coming developments will be later on presented in details through the OrthoWave-Community web site, however we would just list some of them in few words, including the new “W-OW” OrthoWave in AJAX Web language, the newly designed Shoulder Joint module, pending partnerships with OrthoView for preop planning, or a plug-in that allows for printing Joint ID cards for traceability, without forgetting the most recent news about Joint registries… Lire le reste de cet article »

We are in 2096, somewhere in a faraway galaxy, a spaceship is going its way. An impressive “astro-surgeon” is performing some studies about the results of a very new “Hip bio-implant” at … 65 years of follow-up, based upon the OrthoWave™ software suite, of course!

From data collection by some sprightly droids, and link with several astro-colleagues here and there in the Galaxy, to the merge of data and final publication, the study is ready to be lectured at the Intergalactic Scientific Center…

Enjoy !

Happy New Year!…

On behalf of the entire OrthoWave Staff, it is my pleasure to wish you a fantastic 2008… and naturally to wish each of you be “OrthoWaved” more and more as well!…

Since this novel V6 has been released, we have continuously worked to make sure that all proposed OrthoWave features would meet the expectations of all surgeons and researchers in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty matters, be they already enthusiastic users or future ones. In the light of the current trends here and there in our surgical specialty, evaluation will be (very, very) soon an absolute goal. Interestingly, OrthoWave can be seen so far as the “ultimate tool for evaluation in Arthroplasty”, and be sure we will do our best for staying at the cutting edge of this exciting challenge to better state on our own results in order to offer a better care to our patients.

Jean-Alain Epinette, M.D.

Welcome aboard! It is great pleasure and honor to launch this fully redesigned OrthoWave web site, hope it will meet your expectation and demonstrate the outstanding abilities of the new Internet-based V6 version.

OrthoWave has come a long way. The very first outcomes study softwares we have developed, with the ARIA™ Softwares company, were “MacHip” and “MacKnee”, written in Basic on the first MacIntosh in…1985. Later on, partnership with several developers allowed to go ahead with OrthoSoft in 1987, then O.Soft (Hip & Knee modules) which already featured the main basic functionalities as OrthoWave™ today. In 1996, we decided with the ARIA™ Company, to re-write the program as a new software called OrthoWave, that would be totally devoted to Joint Arthroplasty. These first versions of OrthoWave™ from version 1 until version 5, were Omnis-based development. Due to some inadequacy to present and future needs, and namely development of Internet-based shared databases, the whole program has been again fully re-written since 2004 in Java language so as to fulfill all on-line use requirements. Here we are today with the very promising Internet-based Version 6.
