Computer-assisted Shoulder Surgery and Method
11 Jan 24
A system for computer-assisted guidance in glenohumeral joint surgery may have a processor unit, and a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processor unit for: obtaining a natural range of motion profile for the glenohumeral joint by tracking movement of a humerus relative to a scapula of the glenohumeral joint in a non-invasive natural state, registering intra-operatively the humerus and the scapula to a referential system, fitting the natural range of motion profile to the humerus and the scapula in the referential system, creating an intraoperative range of motion profile for the glenohumeral joint by tracking movement of the humerus relative to the scapula of the glenohumeral joint intraoperatively, and outputting the intraoperative range of motion for the glenohumeral joint as a function of the natural range of motion.
