Improving Glenoid Guidewire Placement in Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Comparative Study of Mixed Reality Holographic Overlay Technique With Freehand Technique and Conventional Navigation

Background

Mixed reality (MR) is an emerging technology that aids surgeons during shoulder arthroplasty. This study aims to evaluate surgeons’ ability to reproduce preoperatively planned implant positioning using MR technology as compared to the conventional freehand (FH) technique and the more established guidance technique of navigation for shoulder arthroplasty.
