Templating in shoulder arthroplasty - A comparison of 2D CT to 3D CT planning software: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Computed tomography (CT) utilizing computer software technology to generate three-dimensional (3D) rendering of the glenoid has become the preferred method for preoperative planning. It remains largely unknown what benefits this software may have to the intraoperative placement of the components and patient outcomes.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review is to compare 2D CT to 3D CT planning in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Study design

Systematic review.

Methods

A systematic database search was conducted for relevant studies evaluating the role of 3D CT planning in total shoulder arthroplasty. The primary outcome was component placement variability, and the secondary outcomes were intra- and inter-observer reliability in the context of preope
