    CASTEL SAN PIETRO, 12 October 2023 - Medacta Group S.A. ('Medacta,' SIX: MOVE), a Swiss company featuring innovative, personalized, and sustainable solutions for joint replacement, sports medicine, and spine surgeries, announces the publication of a new study demonstrating how the NextAR Shoulder augmented reality surgical application provides precise and accurate intraoperative guidance for glenoid component placement.
  • Not only does NextAR Shoulder deliver a higher level of precision, but it also seamlessly integrates with the surgical workflow I apply.
  • Because I have NextAR, I feel more at ease during the whole surgical process, from pre-op, intra-op, through post-op,” says Prof. Dr. Med.
  • These results show that intraoperative guidance powered with augmented reality may improve surgical accuracy supporting surgeons achieving greater precision for inclination and retroversion when implanting the glenoid component.

    The retrospective study is the largest of its kind to evaluate clinical outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty patients with proximal humeral bone loss, which can be challenging to treat because the loss of humeral bone compromises implant fixation and joint stability2-8.
  • The results of this new two-year minimum study using the HRP demonstrated significant improvements in range of motion (ROM), pain and outcome scores (PROMs), with no cases of humeral component loosening.
  • This is a powerful result, since previous modular endoprostheses on the market experienced loosening of the humeral component8.
  • “We designed this system to overcome the humeral loosening challenges associated with allograft humeral composites and other shoulder endoprostheses.

“The Catalyst CSR anatomic shoulder system uses a multiplanar osteotomy that allows for superior precision and accuracy in shoulder replacement, while preserving more of the patient’s native bone,” said Matthew Budge, M.D.

Key Points: 
  • “The Catalyst CSR anatomic shoulder system uses a multiplanar osteotomy that allows for superior precision and accuracy in shoulder replacement, while preserving more of the patient’s native bone,” said Matthew Budge, M.D.
  • “This novel approach leverages both reproduction of the patient’s native humeral head height and offset with an ellipsoid anatomic head.
  • “Faster recoveries can be attributed to a combination of several factors working in unison,” said Carl O’Connell , CEO and president of Catalyst.
  • And patented, oblique glenoid instruments allow for the glenoid to be prepared with less muscle retraction than a traditional perpendicular approach.”

  • DDR enables clinicians to visualize the dynamic interaction of anatomical structures, such as tissue and bone, with physiological changes over time.
  • DDR is not fluoroscopy; it is a series of individual digital images acquired at high speed and low dose.
  • “Konica Minolta congratulates the Emory Healthcare Orthopaedic research team on the recent publication of their study comparing SHR across different shoulder pathologies.
