It is crucial for orthopedic surgeons to accurately scale an X-ray before performing any surgical procedures. By using an Akucal X-ray scaling tool, surgeons can ensure that the anatomical structures in the X-ray are accurately represented and not distorted by magnification. This can help prevent errors in surgical planning and placement of surgical hardware and implants, reducing the need for repeat imaging and potentially costly revisions. The investment in an Akucal tool can save surgeons time, money, and improve patient outcomes.
