3D preoperative planning for humeral head selection in total shoulder arthroplasty

ConclusionThere was a high level of consistency between independent and manufacturer preoperative planning software for humeral head measurements. These preoperative planning systems can improve efficiency and workflow during surgery by guiding surgeons on implant size selection to optimally reconstruct the glenohumeral kinematics, in order to improve patient outcomes.Level of evidenceLevel III, study of nonconsecutive patients and without a universally applied “gold” standard study of diagnostic test.
