Summary: | Shoulder arthroplasty is a rapidly improving and utilized management for end-stage arthritis that is associated with improved functional outcomes, pain relief, and long-term implant survival. Accurate placement of the glenoid and humeral components is critical for improved outcomes. Traditionally, preoperative planning was limited to radiographs and 2-dimensional computed tomography (CT); however, 3-dimensional CT is becoming more commonly utilized and necessary to understand complex glenoid and humeral deformities. To further increase accurate component placement, intraoperative assistive devices-patient-specific instrumentation, navigation, and mixed reality-minimize malpositioning, increase surgeon accuracy, and maximize fixation. These intraoperative technologies likely represent the future of shoulder arthroplasty. |
