About this app

QUICK ONLINE REFERENCE IN CLINICAL LIFE

Gain easy access to the award-winning AO Surgery Reference. AO Surgery Reference is an online repository for surgical knowledge. It describes the complete surgical management process from diagnosis to aftercare for all fractures of a given anatomical region, and also assembles relevant material that the AO has published before. It gives access to:

• aid in surgical decision making for 353 fracture types
• 172 approaches
• 1222 surgical procedures
• all richly illustrated with more than 30'000 Illustrations

and much more.

To ensure the quality of the content, it is authored, edited, and peer reviewed by experienced AO Faculty from all over the world, some of which are also well-known textbook authors/editors.

This is a relaunch of the AO Surgery Reference app utilizing the same responsive user interface that was released February 2020.
The highlights are:
• Consistent navigational logic and user experience on all screen sizes
• Inclusion of feline, canine, and equine fracture care
• Combination of Preparation – Approach – Reduction and Fixation – Aftercare into one step called treatment.
• Introduction of a powerful search function, allowing simplifications of the user interface as it replaces previous shortcuts.

Ratings and reviews

App in its current state is just an interface for the website. There is no benefit over using website in your browser. You also can't log in on the app - when clicking login, it just opens your browser, which then lets you log in in your browser only and not in the app. The following would make the app worthwhile; 1. Make it so that you can actually log in and access your paid-for content in the app. 2. Make the app give you offline access to the material, so it has benefit over using browser.

This app is just so frustrating after the recent updates.Kudos to the developers to turn a great app into a utterly useless waste of data and time. I have been using the app from 2013 till 2020 and it has helped me immensely in my young orthopaedic career. The latest updates have made the app unusable.The app never opens and even if it does somehow it crashes midway.Dont know why AO isn't addressing this problem which been there for more than a year now.So much for the Swiss efficiency a/w AO!

one star...the new web app sucks.... doesn't able to select module ....not loading the image even on high speed wifi.... bring back the old app.... really feel now.... OLD IS GOLD....old aap was one of kind And best to fast revise the surgery....very disappointed due new app developers
