Studies indicate that Medacta’s NextAR Shoulder augmented reality surgical application provides precise and accurate intraoperative guidance for glenoid component placement.
The new study, Glenoid Component Placement in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Assisted with Augmented Reality Through a Head-mounted Display Leads to Low Deviation Between Planned and Post-operative Parameters, demonstrates that postoperative data show a high correspondence with the preoperative plan and with the intraoperative indications.
These results show that intraoperative guidance powered with augmented reality may improve surgical accuracy, supporting surgeons achieving greater precision for inclination and retroversion when implanting the glenoid component.
Prior to surgery, the surgeon uses a 3D virtual model of the patient’s shoulder to choose the best implant and position for reconstructing the patient’s shoulder. NextAR Shoulder enhances preoperative strategy planning with unique intraoperative orientation assessments, allowing surgeons to accurately track the position of instruments and implants in real-time through the proprietary single-use NextAR TS Tracking System.
NextAR Shoulder has been successfully used to treat patients in Europe, the United States and Japan, and it has now been introduced in Australia.
