Abstract
The utilization of total shoulder arthroplasty has increased markedly over recent decades, owing to the introduction of reverse shoulder arthroplasty, modular and convertible components, and advances in preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance technology. Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT)–based planning software enables accurate assessment and correction of glenoid deformity and plan for individualized implant selection and templating. Guidance technology extends this capability into the operating room by allowing the surgeon to replicate the preoperative plan with precision and accuracy. Computer-assisted navigation (CAN) is a guidance technology that provides real-time intraoperative feedback to execute the preoperative plan. CAN is currently available for the glenoid component only and is particularly useful in complex primary and revision cases, providing improved accuracy and precision of glenoid component placement, and better short-term outcomes. Although the cost effectiveness, and long-term benefits on implant survivorship are unknown, CAN represents a safe and effective intraoperative guidance tool while maintaining low complication rates. In this review, we discuss the current status of CAN in shoulder arthroplasty including the surgical technique, and review of literature.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
