Moeltgen Goniometer

Clinical Application

This precision goniometer is intended to provide quick, reproducible angular measurements in the operating room and clinic. Typical uses include intraoperative assessment of osteotomy correction and alignment, verification of joint and bone angles during fracture fixation, positioning of implants and plates, tendon-transfer angle confirmation, and perioperative range-of-motion checks in hand, wrist, elbow and small-bone procedures. The device facilitates communication of target angles between surgeon and assistant and can reduce reliance on repeated radiography for routine angular checks.

Design & Configuration

The instrument uses a two-arm, hinged protractor configuration with a clearly graduated degree scale so the operative angle can be set, read and transferred directly at the surgical site. The low-profile arms and hinged geometry permit close apposition to bone and soft-tissue surfaces while maintaining a visible reference for the surgeon. The adjustable hinge allows fine incremental positioning and stable angle retention during measurement and documentation.
