Which shoulder surgery method is most accurate?
NCT ID NCT07645508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at three different ways to place the implant during reverse total shoulder replacement: conventional tools, custom-made guides, and augmented reality navigation. Researchers will check how accurate the implant position is using CT scans and measure how well the shoulder works two years after surgery. The goal is to see which method gives the best results for patients.
