AI Article Synopsis

  • * Studies show that this technology leads to better precision in screw placement and fewer screws used, resulting in improved patient outcomes and fewer complications.
  • * Further research is needed to confirm its benefits and assess the cost-effectiveness, while new technologies like augmented reality and robotic surgery may enhance shoulder arthroplasty even further.

Article Abstract

Intraoperative navigation is a novel technology that can provide real-time feedback to the surgeon during implantation and enhance the accuracy and precision of glenoid component positioning. Applications of intraoperative navigation systems have demonstrated increased precision in baseplate version and inclination, as well as improved baseplate screw placement, with fewer screws used and greater purchase length achieved when compared to standard instrumentation. Early clinical studies have shown favorable results, with significantly improved patient-reported and clinical outcomes and decreased complications. The implementation of intraoperative navigation is associated with a short learning curve and a minimal increase in operative time. Nevertheless, further research is necessary to substantiate the clinical benefit of navigation and evaluate its economic cost-effectiveness and impact on implant survival. Augmented reality and robotic-assisted surgery are additional emerging technologies that, while novel, hold the potential to further advance the field of shoulder arthroplasty.
