No abren la imgenes
La descargué y cuando voy a skeleton no me abre el esqueleto para poder acceder a las fracturas. No se descarga ninguna imagen. Funcionaba muy bien, y con la última actualización dejo de servir
App not working
Great app but not working currently
The best kind of effort put in to orthopaedics world!
I'm seriously impressed by the way this app works, it's a huge benefit for any orthopaedic surgeon who is about to deal with a variety of cases after stepping in to operation theatre each morning, surgeons might already know most of the stuff present here but still they can over look in many situations. This app helps in restoring what is to be there in your might at this particular moment, and all this is done by AO' in other words what they decide dictums in orthopaedic world.
From Russia with love.

Hand module update
Thats a great app!! Very useful. Thanks for that. I've been waiting for a hand module update and i hope it will be very soon.
No funciona
aproximadamente hace 2 años el aplicativo o no muestra información, las imágenes están bloqueadas , y no se puede explorar la información. Cuando funcionaba bien era un aplicativo muy bueno digno de 10 estrellas y si fuera de pago con gusto asumo el costo, pero ahora solo queda extrañar esta aplicación.
Fast perfekt
Noch Hand und Fuß dazu, wenigstens die Klassifikation, und ich gebe 5 Sterne
Great app!
Amazing detail! I am a medical student and this is a perfect app for quickly previewing and reviewing procedures. I am very impressed by the concise but extensive nature of the info available through this app. I wish there were more apps out there like this one. Not quite all parts of the anatomy are covered yet, but most are and I am sure the rest will make their way into the app soon, so this qualification should in no way deter anyone interested from downloading the app.
The app is not opening
I had been using the app earlier. But since past 2 months the app is not opening on iPhone X.
Ao Surgery
Un' ottima applicazione pressoché com pleta e utilissima non solo per gli spe cialisti ortopedici e reumatologi, ma an che per i cultori di medicina e in partico lare di traumatologia. Complimenti vivis simi agli sviluppatori, bravi! Continuate a migliorarla e ad aggiornarla periodica mente, ok?! Grazie e buon lavoro!
Great reference
Great for a quick reviews before a case. I just wish they would add more categories like pelvic ring fractures, etc.
App not working
This is a great app when it’s working however, lately whenever I open it, nothing happens and I’m looking at a blank white screen.
Ao excelente
Excelente para ortopedistas y residentes solo una cuestión cuando en español
Fantastic !!
Best Ortho App in the store currently. Please made the content downloadable because hard to expect 3G signals inside some theatres. Looking forward for other uncompleted chapters of the upperlimb. Great work!
