Latest release takes OSapp virtual osteosynthesis learning platform to a new level

More than 100 new units in 32 lessons, a new structure representing the novel knowledge hub concept, a fresh look, and an improved user experience—all this and more awaits you in the latest release of OSapp, the AO’s interactive, virtual osteosynthesis software tool and learning platform.

OSapp content is organized as an expanding knowledge hub designed to illustrate and explain the biomechanical principles underlying bone healing and fracture fixation. Interactive virtual models, based on existing and validated biomechanical parameters, facilitate the learning and, importantly, better understanding, of the biomechanical principles, said AO Research Institute Davos (ARI) Biomechanics and Modeling Focus Area Leader Peter Varga, PhD. The development of OSapp continues to be supported by ARI and the AO’s Strategy Fund. The OSapp Medical Advisory Board (MAB) has prioritized collaboration and integration with other highly regarded AO educational fora, including AO Milestones and the AO Education Institute through the Residents Education Task Force, and further evolution of close links with the AO Surgery Reference content.
