Completes the CORIOGRAPH Services portfolio which also includes solutions for knee and hip arthroplasty
Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), the global medical technology company, today announces the launch of its CORIOGRAPH Pre-Op Planning and Modeling Services for total shoulder arthroplasty, now available in the United States. This innovative software offers image-based planning capabilities that enable surgeons to create a patient-specific plan for shoulder replacement procedures by using enhanced clinical decision-making through advanced biomechanical simulation that accounts for scapulothoracic motion.1-6
The first procedures using CORIOGRAPH Services for Shoulder were recently completed by Dr. Christopher Klifto, Shoulder Surgeon at Duke University. He commented, “CORIOGRAPH Services help choose the proper components to help ensure the best plan for my patients. Cases are precisely planned by dedicated planning engineers according to surgeon preferences and can be easily modified by the surgeon using the web planner as a final check when needed. The Activity of Daily Living function has the potential to optimize range of motion based on patient needs and is unique in the shoulder arthroplasty space. CORIOGRAPH Services has given me greater confidence to plan my cases and provide optimal care for my patients.”
Key capabilities of CORIOGRAPH Pre-Op Planning and Modeling Services for total shoulder arthroplasty include:
- Supports 3D CT-based planning, giving surgeons the ability to visualize implant options and optimize component positioning and sizing with patient-specific anatomical modeling.1-6
- Designed to minimize impingement through personalized service and surgeon planning tools.1-6
- Range-of-motion and impingement simulation, designed to help surgeons optimize implant placement based on patient-specific shoulder kinematics through real-time modeling of Activities of Daily Living that account for scapulothoracic motion.1-6
- Seamless integration with Smith+Nephew’s full portfolio of AETOS◊ Shoulder System implant solutions.
The AETOS Shoulder System is purposefully designed to work as a cohesive solution, enhancing the surgical experience through streamlined* intraoperative flexibility.7-9 With fewer instruments for a primary Meta Stem procedure†9 and fewer steps when converting from anatomic to reverse,†9 the AETOS Shoulder System is designed to support a more efficient operating room environment.9 When paired with CORIOGRAPH Services, surgeons can plan their cases in advance, empowering confident, real-time decision making and an efficient overall workflow.
“With the addition of shoulder pre-op planning to the CORIOGRAPH Services platform, we are completing our vision of truly personalized orthopaedic care across hip, knee, and shoulder replacements,” said Mayank Shandil, Global SVP of Reconstruction and Robotics Marketing for Smith+Nephew. “As we continue to invest in data-driven and patient-centric tools, surgeons are better equipped to deliver a personalized plan for each patient every time.”
