Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tear (AANA20)-Use of 3D Planning and Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI)-Dr. Eric T. Ricchetti

Use of 3D Planning and Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI)-Dr. Eric T. Ricchetti

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation discusses the use of 3D preoperative planning and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, especially for irreparable rotator cuff tears and arthropathy. 3D CT imaging improves assessment of glenoid bone loss and aids in precise implant positioning, correcting version, inclination, and joint line issues. PSI tools, including reusable and single-use guides, help execute surgical plans accurately. Studies show both 3D planning and PSI increase accuracy over traditional methods, with PSI particularly beneficial in severe cases with substantial bone loss and deformity. Overall, 3D planning and PSI improve outcomes in complex shoulder surgeries.
