Navigation increases the accuracy of glenoid component implantation in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in shoulders with severe glenoid wear: a comparative cohort study

Navigation significantly improves glenoid implantation accuracy, particularly in patients with severe glenoid wear patterns. While its applicability in standard cases is debatable for experienced shoulder surgeons, it could prove valuable for patients with severe bone defects. Further studies are needed to assess if this will impact clinical and long-term implant survival outcomes.
