ArthroPlanner: A Surgical Planning Solution for Acromioplasty

NCT02725346 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 67

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A computer-assisted solution for acromioplasty is presented. The software allows surgeons to better plan the surgical procedure by visualizing dynamic simulation of the patient's shoulder joint during everyday activities. Impingements are dynamically detected and the exact location and amount of bone to be resected is precisely computed. As a result, the success of the acromioplasty does not only rely on the surgeon's experience or previous recommendations, but on quantitative data. Although the clinical validation of this 3D planning support is currently under evaluation, it may allow to recover more effectively postoperative joint mobility, to get a better relationship with pain and a better healing rate of the rotator cuff tendons.
