Computer navigated shoulder replacement (CNSR), Computer-Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) is a discipline where computer technology is applied pre and intra-operatively to improve the outcome of orthopaedic surgical procedures. CAOS brings together orthopedic surgeons with technical disciplines, such as engineering and computer science. To our knowledge this has never had a successful clinical application for total shoulder replacements up until now.
We now can couple preoperative planning using a high-res CT scan with surgical implementation using tools with radio-frequency trackers to provide accurate intra-operative data like the position of the bone, and tools to precisely position the implants.
