Key result
Preoperative templating software based on 3D CT is more accurate and reliable than 2D CT in calculating glenoid version and inclination and predicting implant size for total shoulder arthroplasty.
Why the study?
Surgeons face complex reconstructive challenges in total shoulder arthroplasty, where proper implant positioning is paramount to achieve good results and avoid complications and early failure.
Does 3D CT-based preoperative planning and advanced intraoperative technology improve surgical accuracy and outcomes in total shoulder arthroplasty compared to traditional 2D imaging?

May aid glenoid assessment in TSA; leaves open whether accuracy gains improve outcomes.
Does 3D CT-based preoperative planning and advanced intraoperative technology improve surgical accuracy and outcomes in total shoulder arthroplasty compared to traditional 2D imaging?
Advanced 3D CT preoperative planning and intraoperative technologies offer improved accuracy for implant positioning in total shoulder arthroplasty compared to traditional 2D imaging.
Mehta et al. (2023) conducted a review in Total shoulder arthroplasty. Preoperative planning software based on 3D CT vs. 2D CT was evaluated. Preoperative templating software based on 3D CT is more accurate and reliable than 2D CT in calculating glenoid version and inclination and predicting implant size for total shoulder arthroplasty.
