Robotic-Assisted Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

Robotic-assisted reverse shoulder arthroplasty has recently entered early limited clinical use, with the goal of improving the execution of preoperative plans and reducing malposition outliers that increase complication rates and health-care costs. This Innovation article reviews the rationale for this technology, explores its potential impact, examines key implementation challenges, and highlights the future directions needed to determine its ultimate value.

Abstract

Robotic-assisted reverse shoulder arthroplasty has recently entered early limited clinical use, with the goal of improving the execution of preoperative plans and reducing malposition outliers that increase complication rates and health-care costs. This Innovation article reviews the rationale for this technology, explores its potential impact, examines key implementation challenges, and highlights the future directions needed to determine its ultimate value.
