Development and ex-vivo assessment of a novel patient specific guide and instrumentation system for minimally invasive total shoulder arthroplasty

Development and Validation of a Novel Patient Specific Guide System for Minimially Invasive Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Patient Specific Instruments (PSIs) are increasingly being used to improve the accuracy of surgical procedures, especially arthroplasty, where precise bone preparation and implant placement are critical in the procedure’s success (Farron et al., 2006; Favre et al., 2008). To the authors’ knowledge, arthroplasty PSIs have only been applied to traditional, highlyinvasive surgical approaches, such...

Patient-specific instrumentation for total shoulder arthroplasty

Shoulder arthroplasty is a demanding procedure with a known complication rate. Most complications are associated with the glenoid component, a fact that has stimulated investigation into that specific component of the implant. Avoiding glenoid component malposition is very important and is a key reason for recent developments in pre-operative planning and instrumentation to minimise risk.Patien...

Comparison of Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional and Patient-Specific Instrumentation

Background: Recently, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems have been developed in order to increase theaccuracy of component positioning during total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the findings of previous studies arecontroversial in this regard. In the current randomized clinical study, the outcomes of computer tomography (CT)-basedPS (patient specific)-guided TK...

A new navigation system for minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty.

A computer-assisted navigation system to be used for total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) was reported to improve the accuracy of bone resection and result in precise implant placement, but the concomitant surgical invasion and time consumption are clinical problems. We developed a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system (NNS) to be used for minimally invasive TKA. It requires only the ref...
