Pleased to share that our latest research has been published in JSES International.
This study examined the use of mixed reality (MR) holographic overlay technology to guide glenoid guidewire placement in shoulder arthroplasty. We compared MR to the traditional freehand technique and established navigation systems.
Key findings included:
- MR significantly improved the accuracy of guidewire inclination compared to freehand techniques, reducing malposition rates from 67% to 40%.
- While MR did not outperform conventional navigation for overall accuracy, combining these technologies could leverage the strengths of both in future surgical workflows.
This work highlights how emerging technologies like MR can help close the gap between preoperative planning and intraoperative execution, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes in shoulder replacement surgery.
