Does computer navigation improve patient outcomes compared to conventional techniques in total shoulder arthroplasty? A single-surgeon experience

The use of computer navigation in TSA may be associated with decreased complication rates and improved patient outcomes, a benefit to surgeons and their patients. However, the lack of radiographic assessment is a limitation, and as with all new technology, further research with longer follow-up is needed to fully define the role of navigation in TSA. Level of evidence: III.

Abstract

The use of computer navigation in TSA may be associated with decreased complication rates and improved patient outcomes, a benefit to surgeons and their patients. However, the lack of radiographic assessment is a limitation, and as with all new technology, further research with longer follow-up is needed to fully define the role of navigation in TSA. Level of evidence: III.
