Smith+Nephew Launches CORIOGRAPH for Total Shoulder Replacement

Smith+Nephew commenced U.S. launch of CORIOGRAPH Pre-Op Planning and Modeling Services for total shoulder arthroplasty. The software offers image-based planning capabilities that help surgeons create a patient-specific plan for shoulder replacement procedures by using enhanced clinical decision-making through advanced biomechanical simulation that accounts for scapulothoracic motion.

The launch completes the CORIOGRAPH Services portfolio, which also includes solutions for knee and hip arthroplasty.

Key capabilities of CORIOGRAPH Pre-Op Planning and Modeling Services for total shoulder arthroplasty include:

• Supports 3D CT-based planning, giving surgeons the ability to visualize implant options and optimize component positioning and sizing with patient-specific anatomical modeling.
• Designed to minimize impingement through personalized service and surgeon planning tools.
• Range-of-motion and impingement simulation, designed to help surgeons optimize implant placement based on patient-specific shoulder kinematics through real-time modeling of Activities of Daily Living that account for scapulothoracic motion.
• Seamless integration with Smith+Nephew’s full portfolio of AETOS◊ Shoulder System implant solutions.

The AETOS Shoulder is designed to work as a cohesive solution that offers streamlined intraoperative flexibility. With fewer instruments for a primary Meta Stem procedure and fewer steps when converting from anatomic to reverse, AETOS Shoulder can help support a more efficient operating room environment. When paired with CORIOGRAPH Services, surgeons can plan cases in advance, empowering confident, real-time decision making and an efficient overall workflow.

“With the addition of shoulder pre-op planning to the CORIOGRAPH Services platform, we are completing our vision of truly personalized orthopaedic care across hip, knee, and shoulder replacements,” said Mayank Shandil, Global SVP of Reconstruction and Robotics Marketing for Smith+Nephew. “As we continue to invest in data-driven and patient-centric tools, surgeons are better equipped to deliver a personalized plan for each patient every time.”
