Spine Pro III for iPad

Spine Pro III has been developed in partnership with Richard A. Kube II, M.D., FACSS, FAAOS, CIME

Spine Pro III allows users to cut, zoom & rotate the spine for an in-depth look at its anatomy. Spine Pro III is broken into four main areas: Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar and Sacrum and allows users to create transverse cuts to view the inner mechanics of the spine. In addition, Spine Pro III’s scalpel tool provides the ability to cut away different layers to reveal blood vessels, nerves, connective tissue, ligaments and three layers of muscle. Spine Pro III offers views of each individual vertebra and includes images isolating elements of the spine, audio pronunciations and animations detailing major spine disease states and injuries/treatments.
