The Christ Hospital Joint & Spine Center has rapidly become known as a national destination for the most advanced joint & spine care available. Orthopedic surgeon Marc C. Schneider, M.D., discusses using a new technology to offer patients guided personalized surgery for their total shoulder replacements. ExactechGPS® is the latest advancement in technology that provides surgeons with real-time visual guidance and alignment data in total shoulder surgery. The technology’s preoperative planning tool allows surgeons to plan their cases in advance of the surgery through a virtual simulation. Surgeons can then execute their plan in real time during the surgery based on a 3-D anatomical model of the patient’s shoulder, making adjustments as needed.
