The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in preoperative planning and/or in guiding the marking of bone and/or guiding surgical instruments in non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies in the foot, ankle, and lower leg (tibia / fibula) for adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System surgical guides are intended for single use only. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System surgical guides should only be used when the anatomic landmarks necessary for pre-operative planning can be clearly identified on the patient's radiographic images (i.e., CT).

The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System is a collection of two individual pieces of software and associated additive manufacturing equipment intended to provide a variety of outputs to support non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies in the foot, ankle, and lower leg (tibia / fibula). The system uses electronic medical images of the patient's anatomy or with input from the physician, to manipulate original patient images for planning and executing surgery. The patient specific outputs from the system includes anatomical models, surgical guides, and patient-specific case reports.

Following the MedCAD® Quality System and specific Work Instructions, trained employees utilize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software to manipulate 3-D medical Computed Tomography (CT) images to create patient-specific physical and digital outputs. The process requires clinical input and review from the physician during planning and prior to delivery of the final outputs. The system is operated only by trained MedCAD employees, and the physician does not directly input information. The physician provides input for model manipulation and interactive feedback through viewing of digital models of system outputs that are modified by the engineer during the planning session.
