There are over 500 medically related applications (apps) for mobile devices. Very few of these applications undergo testing and peer-review for accuracy. The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of limb deformity measurements on the Bone Ninja app compared to PACS and to determine the intra- and inter-observer variability among different orthopaedic practitioners.
