an ideal partner. It’s an international company that has solid relationships with an extensive
network of orthopaedic manufacturers including all the major brands.”
OrthoView’s digital template library contains more than 140,000 digital prosthesis templates
from more than 50 manufacturers. OrthoView is used in more than 52 countries, and by more
than 4,500 orthopedic surgeons in North America alone, for planning the full range of
orthopaedic surgeries, including total hip replacements and revisions, total knee replacements
(including uni-compartmental and revisions), shoulder replacements (including reverse
shoulders), ankles, elbows, fingers and all other joint replacements; trauma – fracture

pediatric assessment.
“With the addition of OrthoView, we can provide our customers around the world with an
increased product selection coupled with the convenience of seamless integration with
NovaOrtho and the confidence of being backed by our hallmark service,” said Fowler.
William Peterson, OrthoView’s COO for North America, said “Our distribution agreement with
Novarad will make OrthoView’s digital planning solution for orthopaedics available to Novarad
customers in North American and globally. Radiology will be able to reduce or even eliminate
printed film for orthopaedics and the orthopaedic surgeons will be able to plan and template with
digital images quickly and easily. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
