Orthopedic surgeon Andrew Green, MD, performed New England’s first shoulder replacement using the ARVIS augmented reality guidance system.
ARVIS, from Enovis, is the only AR system in the U.S. for surgical navigation in shoulder replacements, according to a June 12 news release shared with Becker’s. It integrates tracking cameras, a 3D AR display and a hands-free interface within an eyepiece.
“I’ve incorporated ARVIS into my practice because it’s designed specifically to fit the needs of my shoulder patients,” Dr. Green, chief of shoulder and elbow surgery at East Providence, R.I.-based University Orthopedics, said in the release. “After more than 30 years performing shoulder replacements, I know how important the small details are to a good result. My patients deserve the best tools and technology available. The ARVIS system helps me to precisely position the implants, which is especially important in cases with more severe bone deformity.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
