for the hardest cases

Salnus turns a CT into a patient-specific 3D plan, implant-agnostic, in your browser. Surgeons plan the hard case; manufacturers build on the same neutral layer.

Salnus is a research-use-only, software-only, implant-agnostic orthopedic AI platform for preoperative surgical planning and clinical decision support.

From CT to Surgical Plan

Example: complex multi-ligament knee reconstruction

And from the 3D model:

Tunnel Optimization & Analysis

Plans multi-ligament tunnel trajectories that avoid collisions and protect the bone bridges between them. 3D simulation and orthographic views for confident knee reconstruction.

Automated Surgical Report

Generates a complete surgical plan with measurements, protocol comparison, and risk analysis, ready as a clinical PDF. Consistent documentation without the manual work.

Knee OA grading with deep learning.
BETA

Geometric Analysis & Measurement

Measures the anatomical angles and axis alignment that drive surgical decisions (MPTA, LDFA, HKA, FTA), with AI-assisted landmark placement. Reliable, repeatable measurements in a fraction of the manual time.

Auto angles + landmarks + axis alignment.
EXTERNALLY VALIDATED

Auto-Segmentation & 3D Modelling

Turns a knee CT into a patient-specific 3D bone model, ready for surgical planning and 3D-printed guides. Externally validated across femur, tibia, patella, and fibula.

AI bone segmentation + 3D mesh export.
IN DEVELOPMENT

MRI Cartilage & Meniscus Segmentation

Extends 3D planning to cartilage and menisci by segmenting soft tissue directly from knee MRI. In development, adding a full soft-tissue picture to the bone model.

Bone + cartilage + meniscus segmentation from MRI.
VALIDATED

Multi-Ligament Reconstruction Planning

Automated multi-ligament tunnel planning that finds safe trajectories, avoids tunnel collisions, and protects the bone bridges between them. Goes from CT landmarks to a complete surgical plan, grounded in our OJSM-published research.

Optimized tunnel angles + bone bridge safety analysis.
PLANNED

Deformity Analysis & Correction Planning

Analyzes varus/valgus deformity, simulates the osteotomy, and plans mechanical axis correction for HTO and DFO candidates. End-to-end preoperative deformity assessment based on Paley principles.

Mechanical axis restoration with digital precision.
IN DEVELOPMENT

Shoulder Segmentation & Planning

Extends the 3D planning platform to the shoulder, building a patient-specific model of the proximal humerus for arthroplasty planning. In development.

AI shoulder and proximal-humerus segmentation from CT.
IN DEVELOPMENT

Elbow & Humerus Segmentation

Extends the 3D planning platform to the elbow and humerus for deformity assessment (such as cubitus varus) and preoperative planning. In development.

AI elbow and humerus segmentation with deformity analysis.
IN DEVELOPMENT

TKA Preoperative Planning

Extends the 3D planning platform to total knee replacement with vendor-neutral, implant-agnostic planning: CPAK alignment, component fitting, and rotation optimization from CT. In development.

Vendor-neutral, implant-agnostic TKA planning from CT.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
