NCT ID NCT06080412
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a mixed reality system called HOLOBLUEPRINT that helps surgeons see 3D plans during shoulder replacement surgery. 44 adults having shoulder surgery used the tool. Researchers checked if the implant was placed accurately by comparing CT scans before and after surgery. The goal was to see if the tool is safe and helpful.
