The surgeon's engineering
department
for complex knee reconstruction
Send us the hard case: multi-ligament, revision, complex deformity. We turn the CT into a patient-specific 3D plan. Research use only.
Salnus is a research-use-only, software-only, implant-agnostic orthopaedic AI platform for preoperative surgical planning and clinical decision support.

3D-Printed Patient-Specific Guides for Knee Reconstruction
Our study published in The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine validated the clinical accuracy of 3D-printed patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for knee reconstruction procedures, demonstrating significant improvement in intraoperative precision compared to conventional techniques.
Four-Bone Knee CT Segmentation Model
Custom nnU-Net deep learning model trained on a multi-center cohort of annotated knee CT volumes. Four-bone segmentation across femur, tibia, patella, and fibula; internal validation, manuscript in submission. The fibula is rarely segmented in dedicated knee CT work, making this a notable result.
Hip Osteoarthritis AI Analysis
Deep learning-based hip osteoarthritis detection and grading model. Systematic review and meta-analysis of 25 studies completed; original model development in progress.

Why Salnus
Software, not hardware. Vendor-neutral, not locked-in. In the browser, not the cloud.
Implant-agnostic
Not locked to a single manufacturer. Surgeons keep their implant choice.
Software-only
No hardware, no capital cost, no PACS integration.
Browser-based, client-side
Runs in the browser; patient images stay in the clinic (KVKK/GDPR-aligned).
Peer-reviewed foundation
Grounded in a peer-reviewed OJSM 2026 publication. Research-use-only (RUO).
