Fractures occur at a rate of up to 6,000 per 100,000 population, making them a significant concern. Unfortunately, missed fractures contribute to the majority of errors in emergency departments, resulting in serious consequences for patients. These missed fracture cases not only impact patient outcomes but also have a financial burden on health systems. It is crucial to address these challenges and improve fracture detection and diagnosis to enhance patient care and reduce healthcare costs.
RBfracture™ optimizes trauma workflows in emergency departments by delivering precise and efficient results. By automating the detection process, the system streamlines diagnostic workflows, enhances operational efficiency, and reduces turnaround times.

Reduction in missed fractures
RBfracture™ detects fractures in X-rays across the entire appendicular skeleton, including the hip, pelvis, femur, knee, crus, hand, wrist, fingers, elbow, humerus, foot, ankle, toes, forearm, shoulder, as well as the ribs and thoracic and lumbar spine. It also detects dislocations in major joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and fingers, pelvis and hips, knee, ankle, and foot and toes. In addition, RBfracture supports the identification of fracture-related findings, including joint effusions in the elbow and knee, and lipohemarthrosis in the knee.
The findings are summarized in a visual report, attached to the original x-ray image and saved automatically in the PACS system.
RBfracture™ is a computer-assisted detection and diagnosis software device to assist healthcare professionals in reviewing trauma skeletal radiographs.
The expected clinical benefit of RBfracture is to reduce the number of missed fractures impacting the health of individuals. RBfracture should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or solely relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. RBfracture is to be used by trained healthcare professionals including, but not limited to, emergency care doctors, and specialty care doctors (e.g., orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists), as well as radiologists and reporting radiographers.
