3D navigated implantation of the glenoid component in reversed shoulder arthroplasty. Feasibility and results in an anatomic study

Abstract

Accurate positioning of the glenoidal baseplate in the axial scapular plane can be improved using 3D C-arm navigation for reversed shoulder arthroplasty. However, computer navigation may not improve the inferior tilt of the component or the position in the inferior glenoid to avoid scapular notching. Nevertheless, further studies are required to confirm these findings in the clinical setup.
