Schader JF, Helfen T, Braunstein V, Ockert B, Haasters F, Hertel R, Südkamp N, Milz S, Sprecher CM. Experimental guide wire placement for total shoulder arthroplasty in glenoid models: higher precision for patient-specific aiming guides compared to standard technique without learning curve. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:449. [PMID: 38844899 PMCID: PMC11155061 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07549-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific aiming devices (PSAD) may improve precision and accuracy of glenoid component positioning in total shoulder arthroplasty, especially in degenerative glenoids. The aim of this study was to compare precision and accuracy of guide wire positioning into different glenoid models using a PSAD versus a standard guide. METHODS Three experienced shoulder surgeons inserted 2.5 mm K-wires into polyurethane cast glenoid models of type Walch A, B and C (in total 180 models). Every surgeon placed guide wires into 10 glenoids of each type with a standard guide by DePuy Synthes in group (I) and with a PSAD in group (II). Deviation from planned version, inclination and entry point was measured, as well as investigation of a possible learning curve. RESULTS Maximal deviation in version in B- and C-glenoids in (I) was 20.3° versus 4.8° in (II) (p < 0.001) and in inclination was 20.0° in (I) versus 3.7° in (II) (p < 0.001). For B-glenoid, more than 50% of the guide wires in (I) had a version deviation between 11.9° and 20.3° compared to ≤ 2.2° in (II) (p < 0.001). 50% of B- and C-glenoids in (I) showed a median inclination deviation of 4.6° (0.0°-20.0°; p < 0.001) versus 1.8° (0.0°-4.0°; p < 0.001) in (II). Deviation from the entry point was always less than 5.0 mm when using PSAD compared to a maximum of 7.7 mm with the standard guide and was most pronounced in type C (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION PSAD enhance precision and accuracy of guide wire placement particularly for deformed B and C type glenoids compared to a standard guide in vitro. There was no learning curve for PSAD. However, findings of this study cannot be directly translated to the clinical reality and require further corroboration.

Influence of backside seating parameters and augmented baseplate components in virtual planning for reverse shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:1352-1359. [PMID: 38081473 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary goal of this investigation was to examine the influence of a backside seating percentage variable on volume of reamed bone and contact area in virtual planning for glenoid baseplate placement for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The secondary goal was to assess how the option of augmented glenoid baseplate components affected reamed volume and cortical contact area of virtually positioned baseplates. METHODS Nine surgeons virtually planned 30 RTSA cases using a commercially available software system. The 30 cases were chosen to span a spectrum of glenoid deformity. The study consisted of 3 phases. In phase 1, cases were planned with the backside seating percentage blinded and without the option of augmented baseplate components. In phase 2, the backside seating parameter was unblinded. In phase 3, augmented baseplate components were added as an option. Implant version and inclination were recorded. By use of computer-assisted design models, total volume of bone reamed, as well as reamed cortical volume and cancellous volume, was calculated. Total, cortical, and cancellous baseplate contact areas were also calculated. Finally, total glenoid lateralization was calculated for each phase and compared. RESULTS Mean implant version was clinically similar across phases but was statistically significantly lower in phase 3 (P = .006 compared with phase 1 and P = .001 compared with phase 2). Mean implant inclination was clinically similar across phases but was statistically significantly lower in phase 3 (P < .001). Phase 3 had statistically significantly lower cancellous and total reamed bone volumes compared with phase 1 and phase 2 (P < .001 for all comparisons). Phase 3 had statistically significantly larger cortical contact area, lower cancellous contact area, and larger total contact area compared with phase 1 and phase 2 (P < .001 for all comparisons). Phase 3 had significantly greater glenoid lateralization (mean, 10.5 mm) compared with phase 1 (mean, 7.8 mm; P < .001) and phase 2 (mean, 7.9 mm; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Across a wide range of glenoid pathology during virtual surgical planning, experienced shoulder arthroplasty surgeons chose augmented baseplates frequently, and the option of a full-wedge augmented baseplate resulted in statistically significantly greater correction of glenoid deformity, improved total and cortical baseplate contact area, less cancellous reamed bone, and greater glenoid lateralization. Backside seating information does not have a significant impact on how glenoid baseplates are virtually positioned for RTSA, nor does it impact the baseplate contact area or volume of reamed bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS A systematic review was performed using the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive review of the applications of the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality in in-vivo intraoperative navigation, in the training of orthopedic residents, and in the latest innovations proposed in ex-vivo studies was conducted. RESULTS A total of 22 articles were included in the review. Data on navigated shoulder arthroplasty was extracted from 14 articles: seven hundred ninety-three patients treated with intraoperative navigated rTSA or aTSA were included. Also, three randomized control trials (RCTs) reported outcomes on a total of fifty-three orthopedics surgical residents and doctors receiving VR-based training for rTSA, which were also included in the review. Three studies reporting the latest VR and AR-based rTSA applications and two proof of concept studies were also included in the review. CONCLUSIONS The metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality present immense potential for the future of orthopedic surgery. As these technologies advance, it is crucial to conduct additional research, foster development, and seamlessly integrate them into surgical education to fully harness their capabilities and transform the field. This evolution promises enhanced accuracy, expanded training opportunities, and improved surgical planning capabilities.

Validation of mixed-reality surgical navigation for glenoid axis pin placement in shoulder arthroplasty using a cadaveric model. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:1177-1184. [PMID: 37890765 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.09.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mixed reality may offer an alternative for computer-assisted navigation in shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and precision of mixed-reality guidance for the placement of the glenoid axis pin in cadaver specimens. This step is essential for accurate glenoid placement in total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Fourteen cadaveric shoulders underwent simulated shoulder replacement surgery by 7 experienced shoulder surgeons. The surgeons exposed the cadavers through a deltopectoral approach and then used mixed-reality surgical navigation to insert a guide pin in a preplanned position and trajectory in the glenoid. The mixed-reality system used the Microsoft Hololens 2 headset, navigation software, dedicated instruments with fiducial marker cubes, and a securing pin. Computed tomography scans obtained before and after the procedure were used to plan the surgeries and determine the difference between the planned and executed values for the entry point, version, and inclination. One specimen had to be discarded from the analysis because the guide pin was removed accidentally before obtaining the postprocedure computed tomography scan. RESULTS Regarding the navigated entry point on the glenoid, the mean difference between planned and executed values was 1.7 ± 0.8 mm; this difference was 1.2 ± 0.6 mm in the superior-inferior direction and 0.9 ± 0.8 mm in the anterior-posterior direction. The maximum deviation from the entry point for all 13 specimens analyzed was 3.1 mm. Regarding version, the mean difference between planned and executed version values was 1.6° ± 1.2°, with a maximum deviation in version for all 13 specimens of 4.1°. Regarding inclination, the mean angular difference was 1.7° ± 1.5°, with a maximum deviation in inclination of 5°. CONCLUSIONS The mixed-reality navigation system used in this study allowed surgeons to insert the glenoid guide pin on average within 2 mm from the planned entry point and within 2° of version and inclination. The navigated values did not exceed 3 mm or 5°, respectively, for any of the specimens analyzed. This approach may help surgeons more accurately place the definitive glenoid component.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to establish consensus statements via a Delphi process on the factors that should be included in a registry for those patients undergoing rotator cuff tear treatment. Methods A consensus process on the treatment of rotator cuff utilizing a modified Delphi technique was conducted. Fifty-seven surgeons completed these consensus statements and 9 surgeons declined. The participants were members of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and Elbow committees representing 23 European countries. Thirteen questions were generated regarding the diagnosis and follow-up of rotator cuff tears were distributed, with 3 rounds of questionnaires and final voting occurring. Consensus was defined as achieving 80%-89% agreement, whereas strong consensus was defined as 90%-99% agreement, and unanimous consensus was defined by 100% agreement with a proposed statement. Results Of the 13 total questions and consensus statements on rotator cuff tears, 1 achieved unanimous consensus, 6 achieved strong consensus, 5 achieved consensus, and 1 did not achieve consensus. The statement that reached unanimous consensus was that the factors in the patient history that should be evaluated and recorded in the setting of suspected/known rotator cuff tear are age, gender, comorbidities, smoking, traumatic etiology, prior treatment including physical therapy/injections, pain, sleep disturbance, sports, occupation, workmen's compensation, hand dominance, and functional limitations. The statement that did not achieve consensus was related to the role of ultrasound in the initial diagnosis of patients with rotator cuff tears. Conclusion Nearly all questions reached consensus among 57 European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and Elbow members representing 23 different European countries. We encourage surgeons to use this minimum set of variables to establish rotator cuff registries and multicenter studies. By adapting and using compatible variables, data can more easily be compared and eventually merged across countries.

Abstract
Background: The primary cause of medium- to long-term complications in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is the failure of the glenoid component. The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the achievement of planning through computer-assisted navigation and the clinical outcomes at a minimum follow-up (FU) of 12 months. Methods: From December 2019 to December 2022, 57 Equinoxe RSAs with computer-assisted navigation were performed. The average age was 72.8 ± 6.6 years. Using the Orthoblue software, the version and inclination of the glenoid were evaluated from a preoperative CT scan, and planning was performed. Intraoperative navigation data were evaluated, and the clinical outcomes were assessed at a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Results: The average follow-up was 30.7 ± 13.5 months. The planning was reproduced in all implants. No errors in the computer-assisted navigation system were detected. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were recorded. At the final FU, the average active anterior elevation was 143° ± 36°, external rotation was 34° ± 5°, QuickDASH score was 19 ± 16 points, and constant score was 77 ± 18. Conclusions: Computer-assisted navigation is a reliable system for positioning prosthetic implants on challenging glenoids. A longer follow-up period is necessary to confirm the reduction in postoperative complications and the increase in survival compared to traditional RSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional, commercially sourced patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems for shoulder arthroplasty improve glenoid component placement but can involve considerable cost and outsourcing delays. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the accuracy of glenoid component positioning in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) using an in-house, point-of-care, 3-dimensionally (3D) printed patient-specific glenoid drill guide vs. standard nonspecific instrumentation. METHODS This single-center randomized controlled trial included 36 adult patients undergoing primary aTSA. Patients were blinded and randomized 1:1 to either the PSI or the standard aTSA guide groups. The primary endpoint was the accuracy of glenoid component placement (version and inclination), which was determined using a metal-suppression computed tomography scan taken between 6 weeks and 1 year postoperatively. Deviation from the preoperative 3D templating plan was calculated for each patient. Blinded postoperative computed tomography measurements were performed by a fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon and a musculoskeletal radiologist. RESULTS Nineteen patients were randomized to the patient-specific glenoid drill guide group, and 17 patients were allocated to the standard instrumentation control group. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups for native version (P = .527) or inclination (P = .415). The version correction was similar between the 2 groups (P = .551), and the PSI group was significantly more accurate when correcting version than the control group (P = .042). The PSI group required a significantly greater inclination correction than the control group (P = .002); however, the 2 groups still had similar accuracy when correcting inclination (P = .851). For the PSI group, there was no correlation between the accuracy of component placement and native version, native inclination, or the Walch classification of glenoid wear (P > .05). For the control group, accuracy when correcting version was inversely correlated with native version (P = .033), but accuracy was not correlated with native inclination or the Walch classification of glenoid wear (P > .05). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.703 and 0.848 when measuring version and inclination accuracy, respectively. CONCLUSION When compared with standard instrumentation, the use of in-house, 3D printed, patient-specific glenoid drill guides during aTSA led to more accurate glenoid component version correction and similarly accurate inclination correction. Additional research should examine the influence of proper component position and use of PSI on clinical outcomes.

Is preoperative 3D planning reliable for predicting postoperative clinical differences in range of motion between two stem designs in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024:S1058-2746(24)00051-X. [PMID: 38281677 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.11.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aim to predict a clinical difference in the postoperative range of motion (RoM) between 2 reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) stem designs (Inlay-155° and Onlay-145°) using preoperative planning software. We hypothesized that preoperative 3D planning could anticipate the differences in postoperative clinical RoM between 2 humeral stem designs and by keeping the same glenoid implant. METHODS Thirty-seven patients (14 men and 23 women, 76 ± 7 years) underwent a BIO-RSA (bony increased offset-RSA) with the use of preoperative planning and an intraoperative 3-dimensional-printed patient-specific guide for glenoid component implantation between January 2014 and September 2019 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Two types of humeral implants were used: Inlay with a 155° inclination (Inlay-155°) and Onlay with a 145°inclination (Onlay-145°). Glenoid implants remained unchanged. The postoperative RSA angle (inclination of the area in which the glenoid component of the RSA is implanted) and the lateralization shoulder angle were measured to confirm the good positioning of the glenoid implant and the global lateralization on postoperative X-rays. A correlation between simulated and clinical RoM was studied. Simulated and last follow-up active forward flexion (AFE), abduction, and external rotation (ER) were compared between the 2 types of implants. RESULTS No significant difference in RSA and lateralization shoulder angle was found between planned and postoperative radiological implants' position. Clinical RoM at the last follow-up was always significantly different from simulated preoperative RoM. A low-to-moderate but significant correlation existed for AFE, abduction, and ER (r = 0.45, r = 0.47, and r = 0.57, respectively; P < .01). AFE and abduction were systematically underestimated (126° ± 16° and 95° ± 13° simulated vs. 150° ± 24° and 114° ± 13° postoperatively; P < .001), whereas ER was systematically overestimated (50° ± 19° simulated vs. 36° ± 19° postoperatively; P < .001). Simulated abduction and ER highlighted a significant difference between Inlay-155° and Onlay-145° (12° ± 2°, P = .01, and 23° ± 3°, P < .001), and this was also retrieved clinically at the last follow-up (23° ± 2°, P = .02, and 22° ± 2°, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to evaluate the clinical relevance of predicted RoM for RSA preoperative planning. Motion that involves the scapulothoracic joint (AFE and abduction) is underestimated, while ER is overestimated. However, preoperative planning provides clinically relevant RoM prediction with a significant correlation between both and brings reliable data when comparing 2 different types of humeral implants (Inlay-155° and Onlay-145°) for abduction and ER. Thus, RoM simulation is a valuable tool to optimize implant selection and choose RSA implants to reach the optimal RoM.

Abstract
Background Glenohumeral osteophytes (OPs) can adversely influence postoperative range of motion (ROM) following shoulder arthroplasty due to mechanical impingement. Though commercial three-dimensional preoperative planning software (3D PPS) is available to simulate ROM before and after OP resection, little is known about the magnitude of effect OPs and their subsequent removal have on simulated glenohumeral ROM. Methods Included patients were 1) indicated for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) using 3D PPS and 2) presented with glenoid and/or humeral head OPs on preoperative two-dimensional computed tomography (2D-CT) imaging. Thirty patients met the inclusion criteria (9 females, 21 males; mean age 70.45 ± 4.99 years, range 63-80 years). All subjects (n = 30) presented with humeral OPs (mean volume: 2905.16 mm3, range 109.1-11,246 mm3), while 11 subjects also presented with glenoid OPs (mean volume 108.06 mm3, range 37.59-791.4 mm3). Preoperative CTs were used to calculate OP volume (mm3) and OP circumferential extent (clockface). Mean clockface position for circumferential humeral OPs originated at 6:09 (range 4:30-7:15) and extended to 8:51 (range 8:15-10:15). Mean clockface position for glenoid OPs originated at 3:00 (range 2:00-5:00) and extended to 6:16 (range 3:00-7:30). 3D implants on PPS were standardized to achieve 0° of version, 0° of inclination and 4 mm of net lateralization. Thirty-nine and thirty-six mm glenospheres were used for males and females, respectively. 3D PPS was used to evaluate simulated ROM differences before and after OP removal in the planes of adduction (ADD), abduction, internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), extension, and flexion. Impact of OP volume and circumferential extent on pre and postop removal ROM were also analyzed. Results Humeral OP removal significantly increased impingement-free ADD, IR, ER, extension, and flexion. Removal of larger (mm3) humeral OPs positively correlated with improvement in IR (R = 0.452, P = .011), ER (R = 0.394, P = .033), and flexion (R = 0.500, P < .01). Greater circumferential extent of humeral OPs correlated with worse preremoval ROM in the planes of ADD (R = 0.364, P = .02) and extension (R = 0.403, P = .04), and improvements in ER postop removal (R = 0.431, P = .03). Conclusion Humeral OP removal significantly increases impingement-free ADD, IR, ER, extension, and flexion in simulated 3D PPS models following rTSA. Magnitude of simulated ROM improvement is influenced by initial humeral OP volume and circumferential clockface extent. Surgeons should consider these effects when using 3D PPS for rTSA planning to optimize postoperative ROM prognostics.

[PMID: 37276917 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Navigated augmented reality (AR) through a head-mounted display (HMD) may lead to accurate glenoid component placement in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the deviation between planned, intra- and postoperative inclination, retroversion, entry point, depth, and rotation of the glenoid component placement assisted by a navigated AR through HMD during RSA. METHODS Both shoulders of 6 fresh frozen human cadavers, free from fractures or other bony pathologies, were used. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were used for the 3-dimensional (3D) planning. The glenoid component placement was assisted using a navigated AR system through an HMD in all specimens. Intraoperative inclination, retroversion, depth, and rotation were measured by the system. A postoperative CT scan was performed. The pre- and postoperative 3D CT scan reconstructions were superimposed to calculate the deviation between planned and postoperative inclination, retroversion, entry point, depth, and rotation of the glenoid component placement. Additionally, a comparison between intra- and postoperative values was calculated. Outliers were defined as >10° inclination, >10° retroversion, >3 mm entry point. RESULTS The registration algorithm of the scapulae prior to the procedure was correctly completed for all cases. The deviations between planned and postoperative values were 1.0° ± 0.7° for inclination, 1.8° ± 1.3° for retroversion, 1.1 ± 0.4 mm for entry point, 0.7 ± 0.6 mm for depth, and 1.7° ± 1.6° for rotation. The deviation between intra- and postoperative values were 0.9° ± 0.8° for inclination, 1.2° ± 1.1° for retroversion, 0.6 ± 0.5 mm for depth, and 0.3° ± 0.2° for rotation. There were no outliers between planned and postoperative parameters. CONCLUSION In this study, the use of a navigated AR system through an HMD for RSA led to low deviation between planned and postoperative values and between intra- and postoperative parameters.

Abstract
Background There is limited data evaluating post-operative component position and fixation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate baseplate position and fixation using routine pre-operative CT and post-operative radiographs. Methods A retrospective analysis of a series consecutive patient who underwent primary RSA was performed. Pre-operative and post-operative glenoid retroversion and inclination were measured using radiographs aligned with projection silhouettes of 3D scapula models in Mimics software. Baseplate retroversion and inclination were measured followed by evaluating for the presence of radiolucent lines (RLLs). Results Twenty-four patients met inclusion criteria. The average age was 73.4 ± 10.7 years (range, 45-89 years). Radiographic follow-up was 3.4 ± 1.3 years. Post-operative glenoid baseplate retroversion was 2 ± 10 degrees (range, 30 to -9). Post-operative glenoid baseplate inclination was 3.8 ± 9.1 (range, -13 to 19). Five (21%) RSAs had baseplate retroversion >10 degrees. Follow-up radiographs revealed no RLLs around the baseplate, central post, or peripheral screws in any patient. Conclusions Pre-operative CT imaging enabled evaluation of baseplate component placement and fixation on post-operative radiographs. Baseplate version was within 10 degrees of neutral in 79% (19/24) of patients. No RLLs or loss of fixation were found in any cases. Level of Evidence Level IV: Diagnostic Study.

Abstract
Objective analysis of rotator cuff (RC) atrophy and fatty infiltration (FI) from clinical MRI is limited by qualitative measures and variation in scapular coverage. The goals of this study were to: develop/evaluate a method to quantify RC muscle size, atrophy, and FI from clinical MRIs (with typical lateral only coverage) and then quantify the effects of age and sex on RC muscle. To develop the method, 47 full scapula coverage CTs with matching clinical MRIs were used to: correct for variation in scan capture, and ensure impactful information of the RC is measured. Utilizing this methodology and automated artificial intelligence, 170 healthy clinical shoulder MRIs of varying age and sex were segmented, and each RC muscle's size, relative contribution, and FI as a function of scapula location were quantified. A two-way ANOVA was used to examine the effect of age and sex on RC musculature. The analysis revealed significant (p < 0.05): decreases in size of the supraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis with age; decreased supraspinatus and increased infraspinatus relative contribution with age; and increased FI in the infraspinatus with age and in females. This study demonstrated that clinically obtained MRIs can be utilized for automatic 3D analysis of the RC. This method is not susceptible to coverage variation or patient size. Application of methodology in a healthy population revealed differences in RC musculature across ages and FI level between sexes. This large database can be used to reference expected muscle characteristics as a function of scapula location and could eventually be used in conjunction with the proposed methodology for analysis in patient populations.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:e451-e463.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional computed tomography preoperative planning has become adopted among shoulder arthroplasty surgeons. Prior studies have not examined outcomes in patients in whom the surgeon implanted prostheses that deviated from the preoperative plan compared with patients in whom the surgeon followed the preoperative plan. The hypothesis of this study was that clinical and radiographic outcomes would be equivalent between patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty that had a deviation in the components predicted in the preoperative plan and patients who did not have a change in the components predicted in the preoperative plan. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who had preoperative planning for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty from March 2017 through October 2022 was performed. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: patients in whom the surgeon used components that deviated from those anticipated by the preoperative plan (changed group), and patients in whom the surgeon used all of the components anticipated by the preoperative plan (planned group). Patient-determined outcomes including the Western Ontario Osteoarthritis Index, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and Shoulder Activity Level were recorded preoperatively, at 1 year, and at 2 years. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative range of motion was recorded. Radiographic parameters to assess restoration of proximal humeral anatomy included humeral head height, humeral neck angle, humeral centering on the glenoid, and postoperative restoration of the anatomic center of rotation. RESULTS A total of 159 patients had intraoperative changes to their preoperative plan, and 136 patients underwent arthroplasty without changes to their preoperative plan. The planned group had higher scores than the group that had a deviation in the preoperative plan for every patient-determined outcome metric at every postoperative time point with statistically significant improvements found in the SST and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation at 1-year and the SST and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score at 2-year follow-up. No differences were found in range of motion metrics between the groups. Patients who did not have a deviation in their preoperative plan had more optimal restoration of their postoperative radiographic center of rotation than patients who did have a deviation in their preoperative plan. CONCLUSIONS Patients who have intraoperative changes to their preoperative plan have (1) inferior postoperative patient-determined outcome scores at 1 and 2 years after surgery and (2) a larger deviation in the postoperative radiographic restoration of the humeral center of rotation than patients who did not have intraoperative changes from the initial plan.

Abstract
Ongoing innovation leads to a continuous influx of new technologies related to shoulder arthroplasty. These are made available to surgeons and marketed to both health-care providers and patients with the hope of improving outcomes. We sought to evaluate how preoperative planning technologies for shoulder arthroplasty affect outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted using data from an integrated health-care system's shoulder arthroplasty registry. Adult patients who underwent primary elective anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (2015 to 2020) were identified. Preoperative planning technologies were identified as (1) a computed tomography (CT) scan and (2) patient-specific instrumentation (PSI). Multivariable Cox regression and logistic regression were used to compare the risk of aseptic revision and 90-day adverse events, respectively, between procedures for which technologies were and were not used. Results The study sample included 8,117 procedures (in 7,372 patients) with an average follow-up of 2.9 years (maximum, 6 years). No reduction in the risk of aseptic revision was observed for patients having either preoperative CT scans (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.87 to 1.72) or PSI (HR = 1.44; 95% CI = 0.71 to 2.92). Patients having CT scans had a lower likelihood of 90-day emergency department visits (odds ratio [OR] = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.73 to 0.97) but a higher likelihood of 90-day venous thromboembolic events (OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.18 to 2.74). Patients with PSI use had a higher likelihood of 90-day deep infection (OR = 7.74; 95% CI = 1.11 to 53.94). Conclusions We found no reduction in the risk of aseptic revision with the use of these technologies. Patients having CT scans and PSI use had a higher likelihood of venous thromboembolism and deep infection, respectively. Ongoing research with extended follow-up is being conducted to further examine the effects of these technologies on patient outcomes. Level of Evidence Diagnostic Level III.

Abstract
Hypothesis Glenoid baseplate positioning for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is important for stability and longevity, with techniques such as image-derived instrumentation (IDI) developed for improving implant placement accuracy. We performed a single-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing glenoid baseplate insertion accuracy with 3D preoperative planning and IDI jigs vs. 3D preoperative planning and conventional instrumentation. Methods All patients had a preoperative 3D computed tomography to create an IDI; then underwent rTSA according to their randomized method. Repeat computed tomography scans performed at six weeks postoperatively were compared to the preoperative plan to assess for accuracy of implantation. Patient-reported outcome measures and plain radiographs were collected with 2-year follow-up. Results Forty-seven rTSA patients were included (IDI n = 24, conventional instrumentation n = 23). The IDI group was more likely to have a guidewire placement within 2mm of the preoperative plan in the superior/inferior plane (P = .01); and exhibited a smaller degree of error when the native glenoid retroversion was >10° (P = .047). There was no difference in patient-reported outcome measures or other radiographic parameters between the two groups. Conclusion IDI is an accurate method for glenoid guidewire and component placement in rTSA, particularly in the superior/inferior plane and in glenoids with native retroversion >10°, when compared to conventional instrumentation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary purpose of this study was to assess the concordance between preoperatively determined implant parameters using CT-based planning software and surgically implanted prostheses. Secondarily, we sought to evaluate the agreement between preoperative plans performed by surgeons at different levels of training. METHODS Patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis who underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and had a preoperative CT scan according to Blueprint (Stryker, Mahwah, NJ) protocol to be used for preoperative planning were included. A cohort of short-stemmed (SS) and stemless cases performed between October 2017 and December 2018 was randomly selected from an institutional database for the study. Planning was performed separately by four observers at different levels of orthopedic training at a minimum of six months following the actual surgery. Concordance between the surgical decisions during planning and the actually utilized implants was calculated. Additionally, inter-rater agreement was analyzed using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Implant parameters assessed were glenoid size, backside radius of curvature, and the need for posterior augment, in addition to humeral stem/nucleus size, head size, head height, and head eccentricity. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included (10 stemmed and 11 stemless) with a cohort comprising 12 (57%) females with a median age of 62 years (IQR 59.5,67). There was a total of 544 decision possibilities based on the above parameters. The total number of decisions that matched surgical data was 333 (61.2%). Prediction of glenoid component augmentation need and size was the variable that matched most with surgical data (83.3%), whereas nucleus/stem size was the worst (42.9%). Interobserver agreement was excellent in one variable, good in three variables, moderate in one, and poor in two. The best interobserver agreement was with regard to head height. CONCLUSION Preoperative planning using CT-based software may be more accurate for the glenoid component when compared to humeral-sided parameters. Specifically, planning may be most helpful in determining the need and the size of glenoid component augmentation. Utilizing computerized software demonstrates high reliability, even among surgeons early in their orthopedic training.

Accuracy of Blueprint software in predicting range of motion 1 year after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:1088-1094. [PMID: 36690174 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND Blueprint 3-dimensional computed tomography software has a functionality that predicts impingement-free range of motion (ROM) with determination of the limits of ROM at which bone and/or prosthetic impingement occurs. To our knowledge, only 1 previously published study has assessed the ability of Blueprint software to predict actual postoperative ROM after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The hypotheses of this study were that (1) mean Blueprint-predicted impingement-free ROM would be statistically similar to the mean actual ROM 1 year after RTSA and (2) there would be a correlation between Blueprint-predicted impingement-free ROM and the actual ROM 1 year after RTSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent Blueprint planning prior to undergoing RTSA from March 2017 through May 2021 was performed. At 1-year follow-up, flexion, external rotation at the side, abduction, external rotation in the abducted position, internal rotation in the abducted position, and internal rotation behind the back were measured. The preoperatively predicted flexion, extension, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation were recorded using Blueprint software. The group 1 analysis examined the predicted vs. actual ROM of all 127 patients regardless of whether intraoperative component modifications were made. The group 2 analysis examined the predicted vs. actual ROM of only the patients who did not undergo intraoperative changes that would affect the preoperative ROM prediction (n = 97). The group 3 analysis examined the predicted vs. actual ROM of group 2 combined with the 30 patients who underwent post hoc Blueprint planning modifications to account for the changes made intraoperatively (combined sample size of 127). RESULTS Of the 141 patients, 127 (90%) were available for 1-year follow-up. When the mean values of all 3 groups were examined, the actual ROM and predicted ROM were statistically significantly different (P < .0001) for flexion, external rotation, abduction, abduction-external rotation, and abduction-internal rotation. In group 1, a very weak or poor correlation was found between predicted internal rotation and actual abducted internal rotation (r = 0.19, P = .04). For all other ROM metrics in groups 1, 2, and 3, there were no correlations between predicted and actual ROM (P ≥ .07). CONCLUSIONS In its current state, preoperative Blueprint 3-dimensional computed tomography planning software is unable to accurately predict ROM 1 year after RTSA.

[PMID: 36681107 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative planning software with intraoperative guidance technology is increasingly being used to manage complex glenoid deformity in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse TSA. The aim of this study was to review the intraoperative efficacy and complications of computer-assisted navigation (CAN) surgery for the treatment of glenoid deformity in TSA. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all TSAs implanted using a single computer navigation shoulder system. All patients underwent preoperative planning with computed tomography-based preoperative planning software. The starting point on the glenoid and the final version and inclination of the central post (cage) of the glenoid component were reviewed on the intraoperative navigation guidance report and compared with these parameters on the preoperative plan for each patient. The intraoperative accuracy of CAN for glenoid positioning was determined by the deviation of the starting point and final position of the central cage drill in the glenoid compared with the preoperative plan. Data regarding intraoperative complications and the number of times the navigation system was abandoned intraoperatively were collected. RESULTS A total of 16,723 anatomic TSAs and reverse TSAs performed worldwide with the aforementioned navigation system were included in this review. In 16,368 cases (98%), every step of the navigation procedure was completed without abandoning use of the system intraoperatively. There was minimal deviation in the intraoperative execution of the preoperative plan with respect to version (0.6° ± 1.96°), inclination (0.2° ± 2.04°), and the starting point on the glenoid face (1.90 ± 1.2 mm). In this cohort, 9 coracoid fractures (0.05%) were reported. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of CAN for glenoid implantation in TSA. Future studies should focus on assessing the impact of CAN on the longevity and survival of glenoid components and improving the cost-effectiveness of this technology.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022:10.1007/s00402-022-04688-8. [PMID: 36445496 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04688-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excessive version and inclination of the glenoid component during total shoulder arthroplasty can lead to glenohumeral instability, early loosening, and even failure. The orientation and position of the central pin determine the version and inclination of the glenoid component. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in centerline position and orientation obtained using "3D preoperative planning based on the best-fit method for glenoid elements" and the surgeon's manipulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine CT images of glenohumeral osteoarthritis of the shoulder were reconstructed into a 3D model, and a 3D printer was used to create an in vitro model for the surgeon to drill the center pin. The 3D shoulder model was also used for 3D preoperative planning (3DPP) using the best-fit method for glenoid elements. The in vitro model was scanned and the version, inclination and center position were measured to compare with the 3DPP results. RESULTS The respective mean inclinations (versions) of the surgeon and 3DPP were -2.63° ± 6.60 (2.87° ± 5.97) and -1.96° ± 4.24 (-3.21° ± 4.00), respectively. There was no significant difference in the inclination and version of the surgeon and 3DPP. For surgeons, the probability of the inclination and version being greater than 10° was 13.8% (4/29) and 10.3% (3/29), respectively. Compared to the 3DPP results, the surgeon's center position was shifted down an average of 1.63 mm. There was a significant difference in the center position of the surgeon and 3DPP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The central pin drilled by surgeons using general instruments was significantly lower than those defined using 3D preoperative planning and standard central definitions. 3D preoperative planning prevents the version and inclination of the centerline from exceeding safe values (± 10°).

Preoperative Planning for Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e1207-e1216.

Abstract
The success of total shoulder arthroplasty is dependent on both proper patient selection and restoration of the native anatomy. After proper patient selection, preoperative planning is essential to select implants that will allow the surgeon to properly restore soft-tissue tension and correct for deformity. Although it is possible to template implants with plain radiographs, these do not allow accurate measurements of the complex three-dimensional anatomy of the glenohumeral joint. CT can be used to further examine version of the glenoid and humerus, as well as humeral head subluxation. Three-dimensional reconstructions also allow for virtual implantation, resulting in a more reliable prediction of implant appearance. Commercial software is available that calculates parameters such as version; however, these have been shown to have variability when compared with measurements obtained by surgeons. Patient-specific instrumentation can also be obtained based on preoperative measurements; however, although it allowed for improved measurements when compared with two-dimensional imaging, there has been no difference in version error, inclination error, or positional offset of the glenoid implant when comparing patient-specific instrumentation with standard instrumentation. Intraoperative navigation can also be used to give real-time feedback on implant positioning; however, additional studies are needed to fully evaluate its benefit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent advances in preoperative 3D templating software allow surgeons to plan implant size and position for stemless total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Whether these preoperative plans accurately reflect intraoperative decisions is yet unknown, and the purpose of this study was to evaluate concordance between planned and actual implant sizes in a series of patients undergoing stemless TSA. METHODS A retrospective cohort of consecutive, anatomic, stemless TSA cases performed by two surgeons between September 2019 and February 2021 was examined. Preoperative templated plans were collected using 3D planning software, and the sizes of planned glenoid, humeral head, and nucleus "stem" implants and other procedural data were recorded, along with sociodemographic information. These predicted parameters were compared with the implant sizes, and the concordance of these templated plans was quantified by direct comparison and bootstrapped simulations. RESULTS Fifty cases met inclusion criteria, among which perfect concordance across all three implants was observed in 11 cases (22%). The glenoid implant had the highest concordance (80%) relative to the humeral head and nucleus implants (38% and 60%, respectively), which was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). Planned humeral head implants were more often oversized relative to their actual implanted size. However, 84% of the planned humeral heads were within 1 diameter size; in addition, 98% of the planned glenoid implants were within one size and all were within 10 mm of the implanted glenoid backside radius. All nucleus implants were within one size. DISCUSSION Final implant sizes demonstrated variable concordance relative to preoperative plans, with glenoid implants having the highest accuracy and humeral heads having the highest variability. Multiple factors contributed to the varying concordances for the different implants, suggesting possible areas of improvement in this technology. These results may have implications for logistics, intraoperative efficiency, and overall cost and underscore the potential value of this technology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
Background The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of manual determination of the three key points defining the anatomical plane of the scapula, which conditions the reliability of planning software programs based on manual method. Method We included 82 scapula computed tomography scans (56 pathologic and 26 normal glenoid), excluding truncation and major three-dimensional artifact. Four observers independently picked the three key points for each case. Inter- and intra-observer agreement was calculated for each point, using the intraclass correlation method. The mean error (mm) between the observers was calculated as the diameter of the smallest sphere including the four chosen positions. Results Lower inter-observer agreement was found for the trigonum superoinferior position and for the glenoid center anteroposterior position. The mean positioning error between the four observers was 6.9 mm for the trigonum point, and error greater than 10 mm was recorded in 25% of the cases. The mean positioning error was 3.5 mm for the glenoid center in altered glenoid, compared to 1.8 mm for normal glenoid. Discussion Manual determination of an anatomical plane of the scapula suffers from inaccuracy especially due to the variability in trigonum picking, and in a lesser extent, to the variability of glenoid center picking in altered glenoid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) may potentially improve humeral osteotomy in shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the deviation between planned and postosteotomy humeral inclination, retrotorsion, and height in shoulder arthroplasty, using PSI vs. standard cutting guides (SCG). METHODS Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens were allocated to undergo humeral osteotomy using either PSI or SCG, such that the 2 groups have similar age, gender, and side. Preosteotomy computed tomography (CT) scan was performed and used for the 3-dimensional (3D) planning. The osteotomy procedure was performed using a PSI designed for each specimen or an SCG depending on the group. A postosteotomy CT scan was performed. The preosteotomy and postosteotomy 3D CT scan reconstructions were superimposed to calculate the deviation between planned and postosteotomy inclination, retrotorsion, and height. Outliers were defined as cases with 1 or more of the following deviations: >5° inclination, >10° retrotorsion, and >3 mm height. The deviation and outliers in inclination, retrotorsion, and height were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The deviations between planned and postosteotomy parameters were similar among the PSI and SCG groups for inclination (P = .260), whereas they were significantly greater in the SCG group for retrotorsion (P < .001) and height (P = .003). There were 8 outliers in the SCG group, compared with only 1 outlier in the PSI group (P = .005). Most outliers in the SCG group were due to deviation >10° in retrotorsion. CONCLUSION After 3D planning, PSI had less deviation between planned and postosteotomy humeral retrotorsion and height, relative to SCG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) can be compromised by glenoid loosening and failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short- and midterm outcomes of humeral head replacement with glenoid reaming arthroplasty (Ream and Run) for the treatment of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis, and to identify associations between preoperative factors and outcomes. METHODS Forty-nine shoulders (mean age 60 ± 7 years) with minimum 2-year follow-up (mean 4.6 ± 1.7) were evaluated. Forty-three (87.8%) were male. Thirteen (26.5%) had previous nonarthroplasty shoulder surgery. There were 19 (38.8%) Walch type A and 30 (61.2%) type B glenoids. Pre- and postoperative shoulder motion, patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed. Pre- and postoperative plain radiographs were evaluated. Mixed effects models were used to investigate factors associated with outcomes. RESULTS Active forward elevation and active external rotation improved from 111.7° ± 23.8° to 139.2° ± 21.1° and 13.3° ± 20.7° to 38.7° ± 14.7°, respectively (P < .001). The mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and visual analog scale (VAS) shoulder pain scores at the most recent follow-up were 86.6 ± 19.9, 10.1 ± 14.1, 10.5 ± 2.2, and 1.5 ± 2.3, respectively. The mean changes of PROMs were significant and exceeded the minimal clinically important difference for aTSA. The percentage maximal possible improvement for ASES, DASH, and SST were greater than 75%. Male sex (P < .008) and not having prior shoulder surgery (P < .04) were significantly associated with better absolute and greater change in PROMs. Age, preoperative shoulder motion, and Walch glenoid classification were not associated with PROMs. Five (10.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8%-18.6%) patients underwent revision for pain. Three additional patients were dissatisfied at final follow-up without undergoing revision, resulting in 16.7% (95% CI 6.1%-27.2%) of patients being dissatisfied with their outcome after their initial RnR. Mean Short Form-6 Dimensions scores improved from 0.66 ± 0.12 to 0.77 ± 0.13 and mean EuroQol-5 Dimensions scores improved from 0.68 ± 0.20 to 0.85 ± 0.17 (P < .001). Improvement in HRQoL was significantly associated with nondominant arm treatment, increased age, and greater preoperative SST score. Annual medialization of the humeral head center of rotation was 0.56 ± 1.6 mm/yr. No radiographic measure was associated with long-term PROMs. CONCLUSION Ream and Run can provide significant and clinically important improvement in PROMs and HRQoL for a high percentage of patients at short- and midterm follow-up. This procedure is an appropriate alternative to aTSA in select patients.

Patient-specific instrumentation improves the reproducibility of preoperative planning for the positioning of baseplate components with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a comparative clinical study in 39 patients. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:1488-1498. [PMID: 35041969 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for reverse total shoulder replacement has been rapidly increasing, which could reduce errors in implant positioning. Although PSI theoretically holds promise, evidence of the accuracy and reliability of PSI in shoulder replacement surgery is limited. METHODS Thirty-nine shoulders that underwent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty were included in this study and categorized into two groups: the conventional (n = 20) and PSI (n = 19) groups. Screw (length and angle) and baseplate (version, inclination, translation, and rotation) positioning were calculated based on postoperative computed tomography images using a three-dimensional measurement tool. The difference between the values of the preoperative target and postoperative measurement was calculated to evaluate the reproducibility of preoperative planning. Screw involvement in the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches was assessed. Thus, the correlation between the position of the baseplate and the screws was assessed. RESULTS The mean differences between the planned length and angle (anteroposterior and superoinferior angles) and postoperative measurement in the PSI group were significantly smaller than those in the conventional group. Similarly, the mean difference in baseplate rotation between the planned and postoperative measurements in the PSI group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (4.5° vs 10.6°; P < .001). The spinoglenoid notch was involved in 10 cases in the conventional group and 2 cases in the PSI group, and this difference was significant (P = .014). Overall, the mean difference between the preoperative and postoperative version, inferior inclination, and rotation values for the baseplate position was significantly correlated with the values for screw position (length and angle). CONCLUSIONS PSI improves the reproducibility of preoperative planning for baseplate and screw positioning and reduces the risk of neurovascular injury in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background The rate, complexity, and cost of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) continues to grow. Technology has advanced pre-operative templating. Reducing cost of TSA has positive impact for the patient, manufacturer, and hospital. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of implant size selection based on 3-D templating. Our hypothesis was that pre-operative templating would enable accurate implant prediction within one size. Methods Multicenter retrospective study of anatomic TSAs templated utilizing 3-D virtual planning technology. This program uses computed tomography (CT) scans allowing the surgeon to predict component sizes of the glenoid and humeral head and stem. Pre-operative templated implant size were compared to actual implant size at the time of surgery. Primary data analysis utilized unweighted Cohen's Kappa test. Results 111 TSAs were analyzed from five surgeons. Pre-operative templated glenoid sizes were within one size of actual implant in 99% and exactly matched in 89%. For patients requiring a posterior glenoid augment (n = 14), 100% of implants were within one size of the template and 93% matched exactly. For stemless humeral components (n = 87) implanted, 98% matched the pre-operative template within one size with 79% exactly matched. For stemmed components (n = 24), 88% of cases were within one size of the preoperative plan and exactly matching in 83%. Humeral head diameter matched within one size of the pre-operative template in 84% of cases and exactly matched in 72%. Conclusion Pre-operative 3-D templating for TSAs can accurately predict glenoid and humeral component size. This study sets the groundwork for utilization of pre-operative 3-D templating as a potential method to reduce overall TSA costs by managing cost of implants, reducing inventory needs, and improving surgical efficiency.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the context of reverse shoulder arthroplasty, some parameters of glenoid baseplate placement follow established golden rules, while other parameters still have no consensus. The assessment of glenoid wear in the future location of the glenoid baseplate varies among surgeons. The objective of this study was to analyze the inter-observer reproducibility of glenoid baseplate 3D positioning during virtual pre-operative planning. METHOD Four shoulder surgeons planned the glenoid baseplate position of a reverse arthroplasty in the CT scans of 30 degenerative shoulders. The position of the glenoid guide pin entry point and the glenoid baseplate center was compared between surgeons. The baseplate's version and inclination were also analyzed. RESULTS The 3D positioning of the pin entry point was achieved within ± 4 mm for nearly 100% of the shoulders. The superoinferior, anteroposterior and mediolateral positions of the baseplate center were achieved within ± 2 mm for 77.2%, 67.8% and 39.4% of the plans, respectively. The 3D orientation of the glenoid baseplate within ± 10° was inconsistent between the four surgeons (weak agreement, K=0.31, p=0.17). DISCUSSION The placement of the glenoid guide pin was very consistent between surgeons. Conversely, there was little agreement on the lateralization, version and inclination criteria for positioning the glenoid baseplate between surgeons. These parameters need to be studied further in clinical practice to establish golden rules. Three-dimensional information from pre-operative planning is beneficial for assessing the glenoid deformity and for limiting its impact on the baseplate position achieved by different surgeons. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III. Case control study.

[PMID: 35669617 PMCID: PMC9163726 DOI: 10.1177/24715492221090762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
With current emphasis on preoperative templating of anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA and rTSA, respectively), patients often receive thin slice (<1.0 mm) computerized tomography (CT) scans of the operative shoulder, which includes about two-thirds of the ipsilateral lung. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and management of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules on preoperative CT scans for shoulder arthroplasty. In this single-center retrospective study, we queried records of aTSA and rTSA patients from 2015 to 2020 who received preoperative CT imaging of the shoulder. Compared to patients with negative CT findings, there were significantly more females (63.8% vs. 46.4%; P = .011), COPD (13.0% vs. 4.7%; P = .015), and asthma (18.8% vs. 6.9%; P = .003) among the patients with incidental nodules on CT. Binary logistic regression confirmed that female sex (odds ratio = 2.00; 95% CI = 1.04 to 3.88; P = .037), COPD history (OR = 3.02; 95% CI = 1.05 to 8.65; P = .040), and asthma history (OR = 3.17; 95% CI = 1.30 to 7.77; P = .011) were significantly associated with an incidental nodule finding. Incidental pulmonary nodules found on shoulder arthroplasty preoperative CT scans are often low risk in size with low risk of malignancy, and do not require further workup. This study may provide guidance to orthopedic surgeons on how to manage patients with incidental pulmonary nodules to increase chances of early cancer detection, avoid unnecessary referrals, reduce potentially harmful radiation exposure of serial CT scans, and improve cost efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 3D reconstruction technology could revolutionise medicine. Within surgery, 3D reconstruction has a growing role in operative planning and procedures, surgical education and training as well as patient engagement. Whilst virtual and 3D printed models are already used in many surgical specialities, oesophagogastric surgery has been slow in their adoption. Therefore, the authors undertook a scoping review to clarify the current and future roles of 3D modelling in oesophagogastric surgery, highlighting gaps in the literature and implications for future research. METHODS A scoping review protocol was developed using a comprehensive search strategy based on internationally accepted guidelines and tailored for key databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Elsevier Scopus and ISI Web of Science). This is available through the Open Science Framework (osf.io/ta789) and was published in a peer-reviewed journal. Included studies underwent screening and full text review before inclusion. A thematic analysis was performed using pre-determined overarching themes: (i) surgical training and education, (ii) patient education and engagement, and (iii) operative planning and surgical practice. Where applicable, subthemes were generated. RESULTS A total of 56 papers were included. Most research was low-grade with 88% (n = 49) of publications at or below level III evidence. No randomised control trials or systematic reviews were found. Most literature (86%, n = 48) explored 3D reconstruction within operative planning. These were divided into subthemes of pre-operative (77%, n = 43) and intra-operative guidance (9%, n = 5). Few papers reported on surgical training and education (14%, n = 8), and were evenly subcategorised into virtual reality simulation (7%, n = 4) and anatomical teaching (7%, n = 4). No studies utilising 3D modelling for patient engagement and education were found. CONCLUSION The use of 3D reconstruction is in its infancy in oesophagogastric surgery. The quality of evidence is low and key themes, such as patient engagement and education, remain unexplored. Without high quality research evaluating the application and benefits of 3D modelling, oesophagogastric surgery may be left behind.

Novel robotic technology for the rapid intraoperative manufacture of patient-specific instrumentation allowing for improved glenoid component accuracy in shoulder arthroplasty: a cadaveric study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:561-570.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate prosthesis placement in arthroplasty is an important factor in the long-term success of these interventions. Many types of guidance technology have been described to date often suffering from high costs, complex theater integration, time inefficiency, and problems with day-to-day usability. We present a novel, intraoperative robotics platform, capable of rapid, real-time manufacture of low-cost patient-specific guides while overcoming many of the issues with existing approaches. METHODS A prototype robotics platform was assessed in a 24-specimen cadaveric trial during sequential simulated shoulder arthroplasty procedures. The platform consisted of a tableside robot with sterile drapes and sterile disposable components. The robot itself comprised a 3D optical scanner, a 3-axis sterile robotic drill, and a 2-axis receptacle into which the disposable consumables were inserted. The consumable was composed of a region of rapidly setting moldable material and a clip allowing it to be reversibly attached to the robot. Computed tomographic (CT) imaging was obtained for all cadaveric specimens, and a surgical plan was created focusing on glenoid component position-specifically, guidewire position to allow for accurate glenoid preparation before implant insertion. Intraoperatively, for every specimen, the relevant osseous anatomy was exposed and humeral and glenoid preparation undertaken in the usual manner. The sterile disposable was used to create a mold of the joint surface. Once set, the mold was inserted into the robot and an optical scan of the surface was undertaken followed by automatic surface registration with the CT data and surgical plan. An automatic guide hole was subsequently drilled into the molded blank, which was removed from the robot and placed back into the patient, with the melded surface ensuring exact replacement. The guidewire was then driven through the guide hole in accordance with the preoperative plan. RESULTS The novel robotic platform achieved average angular accuracies of 1.9° (standard deviation [SD] 1.3) version and 1.2° (SD 0.7) inclination with positional accuracy of 1.1 mm (SD 0.7) compared to a preoperative plan. DISCUSSION We have described a novel robotics platform that is able to reliably produce patient-specific intraoperative guides to allow for accurate guidewire placement. Guidance is provided using a portable intraoperative device. The results suggest achieved accuracy levels may be equivalent to those seen in other existing guidance technologies; however, eventual in vivo trials and analysis is required. This technology has potential transferability to improve accuracy in other areas of arthroplasty.

Abstract
The interest of patient-specific guides (PSGs) lies in reliable intraoperative achievement of preoperative planning goals. They are a form of instrumentation optimizing intraoperative precision and thus improving the safety and reproducibility of surgical procedures. Clinical superiority, however, has not been demonstrated. The various steps from design to implementation leave room for error, which needs to be known and controlled by the surgeon who is responsible for final outcome. Instituting large-scale patient-specific surgery requires management systems for guides and innovative implants which cannot be a simple extension of current practices. We shall approach the present state of knowledge regarding PSGs via 5 questions: (1) What is a PSG? Single-use instrumentation produced after preoperative planning, aiming exclusively to optimize procedural exactness. (2) How to use and assess PSGs in orthopedic surgery? Strict rules of use must be adhered to. Any deviation from the predefined objective is, necessarily, an error that must be identified as such. (3) Do PSGs provide greater surgical exactness? The contribution of PSGs varies greatly between procedures. Exactness is enhanced in the spine, in osteotomies around the knee and in bone-tumor surgery. In the shoulder, their contribution is seen only in complex cases. Data are sparse for hip replacement, and controversial for knee replacement. (4) What are the expected benefits of PSGs? As well as improving exactness, PSGs allow a lower radiation dose and shorter operating time. They also enable junior surgeons to train in techniques otherwise reserved to hyperspecialists. (5) How to include PSGs in everyday practice? As well as their potential clinical interest, PSGs involve deep changes in organization, equipment provision and economic model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent innovations in shoulder arthroplasty include three-dimensional (3D) CT software imaging that can be used to predict which prosthetic implants will be used intraoperatively. Correct prediction of the implants may optimize supply chain logistics for the surgeon, hospital, ambulatory surgery center, and the implant company. The purpose of this study was to examine a single surgeon's experience with this software to determine its predictive accuracy in determining which implants would be used intraoperatively. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) performed by a single surgeon was performed. Inclusion criteria were patients undergoing anatomic (aTSA) or reverse (rTSA) TSA examined preoperatively with the 3D CT planning software. A chart review was performed to compare the accuracy of the preoperative plan in predicting the actual prostheses implanted at surgery. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-eight shoulders from 260 patients were included. One hundred fifty-one shoulders underwent aTSA, and 127 shoulders underwent rTSA. The surgeon was able to predict the type of arthroplasty (anatomic versus reverse) implanted in 269 of 278 (97%) shoulders. Using the 3D CT software, the surgeon was able to predict all the implants implanted in 68 shoulders (24%). For aTSA, 3D CT imaging successfully predicted all implants implanted in 43 shoulders (28%), glenoid implants implanted in 120 of 148 shoulders (81%), and humeral implants implanted in 54 shoulders (36%). For rTSA, 3D CT imaging successfully predicted all implants implanted in 26 shoulders (20%), glenoid implants implanted in 106 shoulders (83%), and humeral implants implanted in 39 shoulders (31%). CONCLUSIONS The 3D CT software combined with surgeon's judgment provided a high accuracy (97%) in determining the type of arthroplasty, a moderately high accuracy in determining the glenoid implants (81% to 83%), a low accuracy in determining humeral implants (31% to 36%), and a low accuracy in determining all prostheses used for each surgery (20% to 28%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior glenoid bone loss is commonly associated with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Surgical management of bone loss in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) remains controversial. We studied the use of a stepped augmented glenoid component for management of Walch B2 and B3 glenoids and compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes at short-term follow-up with those achieved with a non-augmented component of the same design in Walch A1 glenoids. METHODS Ninety-two patients (42 A1, 29 B2, and 21 B3 glenoids) were prospectively followed after aTSA. Sequential 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed preoperatively, within 3 months postoperatively with metal artifact reduction (MAR) to define implant position, and at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively with MAR. Scapular 3D registration with implant registration allowed 3D measurement of glenoid implant position, implant shift, and central peg osteolysis (CPO). RESULTS CPO with or without implant shift occurred in a higher percentage of B3 glenoids treated with the augmented glenoid component (29%) than A1 glenoids treated with a standard component (5%) (p = 0.028). There was no significant difference in the frequency of CPO between B2 glenoids with the augmented component (10%) and A1 glenoids with the standard component. There was no difference in postoperative glenoid component version and inclination between groups. B3 glenoids were associated with more component medialization relative to the premorbid joint line compared with A1 and B2 glenoids (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A stepped augmented glenoid component can restore premorbid glenoid anatomy in patients with asymmetric biconcave glenoid bone loss (Walch B2), with short-term clinical and radiographic results equivalent to those for patients without glenoid bone loss (Walch A1) treated with a non-augmented component. There is a greater risk of CPO in patients with moderate-to-severe B3 glenoid pathology with this stepped augmented glenoid component. Longer follow-up will help define the clinical implications of CPO over time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An assessment of the pathoanatomic parameters of the arthritic glenohumeral joint (GHJ) has the potential to identify discriminating metrics to differentiate glenoid types in shoulders with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (PGHOA). The aim was to identify the morphometric differences and threshold values between glenoid types including normal and arthritic glenoids with the various types in the Walch classification. We hypothesized that there would be clear morphometric discriminators between the various glenoid types and that specific numeric threshold values would allow identification of each glenoid type. METHODS The computed tomography scans of 707 shoulders were analyzed: 585 obtained from shoulders with PGHOA and 122 from shoulders without glenohumeral pathology. Glenoid morphology was classified according to the Walch classification. All computed tomography scans were imported in a dedicated automatic 3D-software program that referenced measurements to the scapular body plane. Glenoid and humeral modeling was performed using the best-fit sphere method, and the root-mean-square error was calculated. The direction and orientation of the glenoid and humerus described glenohumeral relationships. RESULTS Among shoulders with PGHOA, 90% of the glenoids and 85% of the humeral heads were directed posteriorly in reference to the scapular body plane. Several discriminatory pathoanatomic parameters were identified: GHJ narrowing < 3 mm was a discriminatory metric for type A glenoids. Posterior humeral subluxation > 70% discriminated type B1 from normal GHJs. The root-mean-square error was a discriminatory metric to distinguish type B2 from type A, type B3, and normal GHJs. Type B3 glenoids differed from type A2 by greater retroversion (>13°) and subluxation (>71%). The type C glenoid retroversion inferior limit was 21°, whereas normal glenoids never presented with retroversion > 16°. CONCLUSION Pathoanatomic metrics with the identified threshold values can be used to discriminate glenoid types in shoulders with PGHOA.

Abstract
» Glenoid component positioning affects implant survival after total shoulder arthroplasty, and accurate glenoid-component positioning is an important technical aspect. » The use of virtual planning and patient-specific instrumentation has been shown to produce reliable implant placement in the laboratory and in some clinical studies. » Currently available preoperative planning software programs employ different techniques to generate 3-dimensional models and produce anatomic measurements potentially affecting clinical decisions. » There are no published data, to our knowledge, on the effect of preoperative computer planning and patient-specific instrumentation on long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate glenoid component position and radiolucency following anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) using sequential 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) analysis. METHODS In a series of 152 patients (42 Walch A1, 16 A2, 7 B1, 49 B2, 29 B3, 3 C1, 3 C2, and 3 D glenoids) undergoing anatomic TSA with a polyethylene glenoid component, sequential 3D CT analysis was performed preoperatively (CT1), early postoperatively (CT2), and at a minimum 2-year follow-up (CT3). Glenoid component shift was defined as a change in component version or inclination of ≥3° from CT2 to CT3. Glenoid component central anchor peg osteolysis (CPO) was assessed at CT3. Factors associated with glenoid component shift and CPO were evaluated. RESULTS Glenoid component shift occurred from CT2 to CT3 in 78 (51%) of the 152 patients. CPO was seen at CT3 in 19 (13%) of the 152 patients, including 15 (19%) of the 78 with component shift. Walch B2 glenoids with a standard component and glenoids with higher preoperative retroversion were associated with a higher rate of shift, but not of CPO. B3 glenoids with an augmented component and glenoids with greater preoperative joint-line medialization were associated with CPO, but not with shift. More glenoid component joint-line medialization from CT2 to CT3 was associated with higher rates of shift and CPO. A greater absolute change in glenoid component inclination from CT2 to CT3 and a combined absolute glenoid component version and inclination change from CT2 to CT3 were associated with CPO. Neither glenoid component shift nor CPO was associated with worse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative 3D CT analysis demonstrated that glenoid component shift commonly occurs following anatomic TSA, with increased inclination the most common direction. Most (81%) of the patients with glenoid component shift did not develop CPO. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the relationships of glenoid component shift and CPO with loosening over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goals of this study were to determine the incidence in the United States of preoperative three-dimensional imaging prior to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and to determine if preoperative imaging is associated with decreased complication rates. METHODS Using a Medicare insurance database, we identified all patients who underwent computed tomography (n = 9380) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (n = 15,653) prior to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis from 2005 to 2014. The incidence of imaging over time was analyzed and complication rates compared between patients with imaging to matched controls. RESULTS The incidence of preoperative three-dimensional imaging significantly increased over time, with computed tomography increasing more than magnetic resonance imaging. Compared to controls, patients with preoperative computed tomography imaging had significantly lower revision rates at two years (odds ratio 0.72 (0.64-0.82), p = 0.008). There were no other significant differences in the other complications studied. CONCLUSIONS The use of preoperative three-dimensional imaging for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis has increased dramatically, with the use of computed tomography increasing the most. Patients who underwent preoperative computed tomography imaging experienced lower revision rates at two years postoperatively compared to matched controls without such imaging. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to describe a quantitative 3D CT method to measure rotator cuff muscle volume, atrophy, and balance in healthy controls and in three pathological shoulder cohorts. Methods In all, 102 CT scans were included in the analysis: 46 healthy, 21 cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), 18 irreparable rotator cuff tear (IRCT), and 17 primary osteoarthritis (OA). The four rotator cuff muscles were manually segmented and their volume, including intramuscular fat, was calculated. The normalized volume (NV) of each muscle was calculated by dividing muscle volume to the patient’s scapular bone volume. Muscle volume and percentage of muscle atrophy were compared between muscles and between cohorts. Results Rotator cuff muscle volume was significantly decreased in patients with OA, CTA, and IRCT compared to healthy patients (p < 0.0001). Atrophy was comparable for all muscles between CTA, IRCT, and OA patients, except for the supraspinatus, which was significantly more atrophied in CTA and IRCT (p = 0.002). In healthy shoulders, the anterior cuff represented 45% of the entire cuff, while the posterior cuff represented 40%. A similar partition between anterior and posterior cuff was also found in both CTA and IRCT patients. However, in OA patients, the relative volume of the anterior (42%) and posterior cuff (45%) were similar. Conclusion This study shows that rotator cuff muscle volume is significantly decreased in patients with OA, CTA, or IRCT compared to healthy patients, but that only minimal differences can be observed between the different pathological groups. This suggests that the influence of rotator cuff muscle volume and atrophy (including intramuscular fat) as an independent factor of outcome may be overestimated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Publications regarding anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) have consistently reported that they provide significant improvement for patients with glenohumeral arthritis. New TSA technologies that have been introduced with the goal of further improving these outcomes include preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans, 3-dimensional preoperative planning, patient-specific instrumentation, stemless and short-stemmed humeral components, as well as metal-backed, hybrid, and augmented glenoid components. The benefit of these new technologies in terms of patient-reported outcomes is unknown. METHODS We reviewed 114 articles presenting preoperative and postoperative values for commonly used patient-reported metrics. The results were analyzed to determine whether patient outcomes have improved over the 20 years during which new technologies became available. RESULTS The analysis did not identify evidence that the results of TSA were statistically or clinically improved over the 2 decades of study or that any of the individual technologies were associated with significant improvement in patient outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Additional research is required to document the clinical value of these new technologies to patients with glenohumeral arthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether a simulated low-dose metal artifact reduction (MAR) CT technique is comparable with a clinical dose MAR technique for shoulder arthroplasty evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two shoulder arthroplasties in cadavers and 25 shoulder arthroplasties in patients were scanned using a clinical dose (140 kVp, 300 qrmAs); cadavers were also scanned at half dose (140 kVp, 150 qrmAs). Images were reconstructed using a MAR CT algorithm at full dose and a noise-insertion algorithm simulating 50% dose reduction. For the actual and simulated half-dose cadaver scans, differences in SD for regions of interest were assessed, and streak artifact near the arthroplasty was graded by 3 blinded readers. Simulated half-dose scans were compared with full-dose scans in patients by measuring differences in implant position and by comparing readers' grades of periprosthetic osteolysis and muscle atrophy. RESULTS The mean difference in SD between actual and simulated half-dose methods was 2.42 HU (95% CI [1.4, 3.4]). No differences in streak artifact grades were seen in 13/18 (72.2%) comparisons in cadavers. In patients, differences in implant position measurements were within 1° or 1 mm in 149/150 (99.3%) measurements. The inter-reader agreement rates were nearly identical when readers were using full-dose (77.3% [232/300] for osteolysis and 76.9% [173/225] for muscle atrophy) and simulated half-dose (76.7% [920/1200] for osteolysis and 74.0% [666/900] for muscle atrophy) scans. CONCLUSION A simulated half-dose MAR CT technique is comparable both quantitatively and qualitatively with a standard-dose technique for shoulder arthroplasty evaluation, demonstrating that this technique could be used to reduce dose in arthroplasty imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the effect of 3-dimensional (3D) planning for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) on component positioning and patient outcomes has been increasingly studied, the effect of 3D planning on surgeon decision making has not been well studied. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of a database containing TSA cases for which the glenoid component was planned with a commercially available 3D computed tomography software program (Virtual Implant Positioning; Arthrex, Inc.) from 2016 to 2019. A total of 6483 cases planned by 417 surgeons were included. The glenoid version (Vtech) and inclination (Itech) of the Virtual Implant Positioning technician plan as well as the surgeon's final plan for version (Vsurg) and inclination (Isurg) were extracted. When the version and/or inclination of the surgeon plan matched that of the technician, that variable was defined as "accepted." The rates of acceptance of Vtech and Itech were calculated and analyzed for association with implant type, native version and inclination, and running case count. A subgroup analysis of high-volume users (n > 30 cases) was analyzed to determine if any of the variables independently was associated with surgeon acceptance. RESULTS There was a very high rate of matching of version (66%), inclination (72%), or both (55%) and a low rate (18%) where neither parameter of the glenoid plan matched that of the technician. In univariate analysis, as the case count and retroversion increased the rate of accepting of version dropped noticeably (70%-50% and 47%, respectively [ P< .0001]). The rate of accepting the plan for inclination did not vary much as case count changed. In the multivariate analysis, 23 of 56 high-volume surgeons had at least 1 independent factor associated with accepting the technician-planned glenoid version, and 5 surgeons had 2 independent factors. In the multivariate analysis of matching glenoid inclination, 27 of 56 high-volume surgeons had at least 1 independent factor associated with accepting the technician-planned glenoid version, and 9 surgeons had 2 or more independent factors. CONCLUSIONS In a large database of TSAs with 3D-planned glenoids, there were high rates of cases with surgeon agreement with an initial plan provided by an industry technician: 66% in version, 72% in inclination, 55% for both version and inclination. Surgeon acceptance of the initial plan decreased as pathoanatomy increased and case count increased. Shoulder surgeons should be aware that an initial 3D preoperative plan provided by industry represents a potential source of cognitive bias in shoulder arthroplasty planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variations in glenoid morphology affect surgical treatment and outcome of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the modified Walch classification using 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging in a multicenter research group. METHODS Deidentified preoperative CTs of patients with primary glenohumeral OA undergoing anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) were reviewed with 3D imaging software by 23 experienced shoulder surgeons across 19 institutions. CTs were separated into 2 groups for review: group 1 (96 cases involving all modified Walch classification categories evaluated by 12 readers) and group 2 (98 cases involving posterior glenoid deformity categories [B2, B3, C1, C2] evaluated by 11 readers other than the first 12). Each case group was reviewed by the same set of readers 4 different times (with and without the glenoid vault model present), blindly and in random order. Inter- and intraobserver reliabilities were calculated to assess agreement (slight, fair, moderate, substantial, almost perfect) within groups and by modified Walch classification categories. RESULTS Interobserver reliability showed fair to moderate agreement for both groups. Group 1 had a kappa of 0.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38, 0.48) with the glenoid vault model absent and 0.41 (95% CI: 0.37, 0.46) with it present. Group 2 had a kappa of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.33, 0.43) with the glenoid vault model absent and 0.37 (95% CI: 0.32, 0.43) with it present. Intraobserver reliability showed substantial agreement for group 1 with (0.63, range 0.47-0.71) and without (0.61, range 0.52-0.69) the glenoid vault model present. For group 2, intraobserver reliability showed moderate agreement with the glenoid vault model absent (0.51, range 0.30-0.72), which improved to substantial agreement with the glenoid vault model present (0.61, range 0.34-0.87). DISCUSSION Inter- and intraobserver reliability of the modified Walch classification were fair to moderate and moderate to substantial, respectively, using standardized 3D CT imaging analysis in a large multicenter study. The findings potentially suggest that cases with a spectrum of posterior glenoid bone loss and/or dysplasia can be harder to distinguish by modified Walch type because of a lack of defined thresholds, and the glenoid vault model may be beneficial in determining Walch type in certain scenarios. The ability to reproducibly separate patients into groups based on preoperative pathology, including Walch type, is important for future studies to accurately evaluate postoperative outcomes in TSA patient cohorts.

Abstract
» Longitudinal clinical and radiographic success of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is critically dependent on optimal glenoid component position. » Historically, preoperative templating utilized radiographs with commercially produced overlay implant templates and a basic understanding of glenoid morphology. » The advent of 3-dimensional imaging and templating has achieved more accurate and precise pathologic glenoid interrogation and glenoid implant positioning than historical 2-dimensional imaging. » Advanced templating allows for the understanding of unique patient morphology, the recognition and anticipation of potential operative challenges, and the prediction of implant limitations, and it provides a method for preoperatively addressing abnormal glenoid morphology. » Synergistic software, implants, and instrumentation have emerged with the aim of improving the accuracy of glenoid component implantation. Additional studies are warranted to determine the ultimate efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these technologies, as well as the potential for improvements in TSA outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative planning with commercially available imaging software in shoulder arthroplasty may allow for improved decision-making and more accurate placement of the glenoid component. METHODS A total of 81 consecutive shoulder computed tomography scans obtained for preoperative planning purposes for shoulder arthroplasty were analyzed by commercially available software from 4 companies (Blueprint: Wright Medical, Memphis, TN, USA; GPS: Exactech, Gainesville, FL, USA; Materialise: DJO, Vista, CA, USA; and VIP: Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) and by 5 fellowship-trained sports medicine/shoulder surgeons. Inclination, version, and subluxation of the humerus were measured in a blinded fashion on axial and coronal sequences at the mid-glenoid. Surgeon measurements were analyzed for agreement and were compared with the 4 commercial programs. RESULTS Surgeon reliability was acceptable for version (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.876), inclination (ICC: 0.84), and subluxation (ICC: 0.523). Significant differences were found between surgeon and commercial software measurements in version (P = .03), inclination (P = .023), and subluxation (P < .001). Software measurements tended to be more superiorly inclined (average -2° to 2° greater), more retroverted (average 2°-5° greater), and more posteriorly subluxed (average 7°-10° greater) than surgeon measurements. In comparing imaging software measurements, only Blueprint was found to produce significantly different version measurements than surgeon measurements (P = .02). CONCLUSION Preoperative planning software for shoulder arthroplasty has limited agreement in measures of version, inclination, and subluxation measurements, whereas surgeons have high inter-reliability. Surgeons should be cautious when using commercial software planning systems and when comparing publications that use different planning systems to determine preoperative glenoid deformity measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to quantify correction of glenoid deformity and humeral head alignment in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty as a function of preoperative pathology (modified Walch classification) and glenoid implant type in a clinical cohort using 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) analysis. METHODS Patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with a standard glenoid (SG) (n = 110) or posteriorly stepped augmented glenoid (AG) (n = 62) component were evaluated with a preoperative CT scan and a postoperative CT scan within 3 months of surgery. Glenoid version, inclination, and medial-lateral (ML) joint line position, as well as humeral head alignment, were assessed on both CT scans, with preoperative-to-postoperative changes analyzed relative to pathology and premorbid anatomy based on the modified Walch classification and glenoid implant type. RESULTS On average, correction to the premorbid ML joint line position was significantly less in type A2 glenoids than in type A1 glenoids (-2.3 ± 2.1 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P < .001). Correction to premorbid version was not different between type B2 glenoids with AG components and type A1 glenoids with SG components (-1.7° ± 6.6° vs. -1.0° ± 4.0°, P = .57), and the premorbid ML joint line position was restored on average in both groups (0.3 ± 1.6 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P = .006). Correction to premorbid version was not different between type B3 glenoids with AG components and type A1 glenoids with SG components (-0.6° ± 5.1° vs. -1.0° ± 4.0°, P = .72), but correction relative to the premorbid ML joint line position was significantly less in type B3 glenoids with AG components than in type A1 glenoids with SG components (-2.2 ± 2.1 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P < .001). Postoperative humeral glenoid alignment was not different in any group comparisons. DISCUSSION In cases with posterior glenoid bone loss and retroversion (type B2 or B3 glenoids), an AG component can better correct retroversion and the glenoid ML joint line position compared with an SG component, with correction to premorbid version comparable to a type A1 glenoid with an SG component. However, restoration of the premorbid ML joint line position may not always be possible with SG or AG components in cases with more advanced central glenoid bone loss (type A2 or B3 glenoids). Further follow-up is needed to determine the clinical consequences of these findings.

Colley R, Polisetty TS, Levy JC. Mid-term outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty using the alternative center line for glenoid baseplate fixation: a case-controlled study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:298-305. [PMID: 32862995 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A critical step in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is glenoid baseplate fixation. In cases of glenoid bone loss, use of the anatomic glenoid center line may not provide sufficient bone support for fixation. Anteversion along the alternative center line is a described method for achieving baseplate fixation in these cases. However, concern remains regarding negative consequences in functional outcomes and complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of RSA using the anatomic or alternative center line. METHODS We performed a retrospective case-controlled study of patients who underwent RSA between November 2006 and August 2017, performed by a single surgeon, with a minimum of 2 years' follow-up. Patients treated with the anatomic center-line technique for baseplate fixation were matched 3:1 based on sex, indication for surgery, and age with patients treated with the alternative center-line technique. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), active range of motion, and the ability to perform functional tasks of internal rotation were compared. Evaluations of the most recently obtained radiographs focused on acromial fractures, scapular notching, and glenoid loosening. RESULTS A total of 88 patients (66 in anatomic center-line group and 22 in alternative group) participated in the matched analysis, with a mean age of 74.2 years (range, 58-89 years) and mean follow-up period of 53 months (range, 24-130 months). At the final follow-up, we found no significant differences in PROMs, including the Simple Shoulder Test score (P = .829), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (P = .601), visual analog scale pain score (P = .068), and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score (P = .674). Moreover, both the overall improvements in these PROMs and all active motions and functional tasks of internal rotation were not different. No radiographic evidence of glenoid loosening was found in either group, and 2 patients in each cohort (3% of the anatomic group and 9% of the alternative group) experienced an acromial fracture. Low-grade scapular notching developed in 15.2% of the anatomic group and 18.2% of the alternative center line group (P = .736). CONCLUSION The alternative center line can be used for baseplate fixation in the setting of glenoid bone loss and leads to similar patient outcomes and functional tasks of internal rotation, as well as a low rate of complications, compared with the anatomic center line following RSA.

Intersurgeon and intrasurgeon variability in preoperative planning of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty: a quantitative comparison of 49 cases planned by 9 surgeons. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 29:2610-2618. [PMID: 33190760 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative planning software is widely available for most anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) systems. It can be most useful in determining implant selection and placement with advanced glenoid wear. The purpose of this study was to quantify inter- and intrasurgeon variability in preoperative planning of a series of ATSA cases. METHODS Forty-nine computed tomography scans were planned for ATSA by 9 fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons using the ExactechGPS platform (Exactech Inc., Gainesville, FL, USA). Each case was planned a second time between 4 and 12 weeks later. Variability within and between surgeons was measured for implant type, size, version and inclination correction, and implant face position. Interclass correlation coefficients, Pearson, and Light's kappa coefficients were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS There was considerable variation in the frequency of augment use between surgeons and between rounds for the same surgeon. Thresholds for augment use also varied between surgeons. Interclass correlation coefficients for intersurgeon variability were 0.37 for version, 0.80 for inclination, 0.36 for implant type, and 0.36 for implant size. Pearson coefficients for intrasurgeon variability were 0.17 for version and 0.53 for inclination. Light's kappa coefficient for implant type was 0.64. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates substantial inter- and intrasurgeon variability in preoperative planning of ATSA. Although the magnitude of differences in correction was small, surgeons differed significantly in the use of augments to achieve the resultant plan. Surgeons differed from each other on thresholds for augment use and maximum allowable residual retroversion. This suggests that there may a range of acceptable corrections for each shoulder rather than a single optimal plan.
