Pre-Op X-Ray
This section outlines the necessary pre-operative X-ray procedures required before the surgical intervention using EASYTECH instrumentation.
Instrumentation: EASYTECH
The document specifies the use of EASYTECH instrumentation, which involves two trays for the surgical procedure.
Surgical Technique: Humerus
The surgical technique for the humerus includes the use of a cutting guide and determining the cutting size, which corresponds to the head size. The humerus must be centered, and a K-wire is used for alignment. The choice of baseplate is crucial, with sizes ranging from Ø39 to Ø50, each corresponding to specific puncher sizes for proper baseplate impaction. A double taper and trial head are also part of the procedure.
Definitive Implants
The document discusses the use of centered and eccentric definitive implants, ensuring proper alignment and fit.
Instrumentation: Glenoid
Instrumentation for the glenoid involves specific tools and techniques tailored for this part of the procedure.
Surgical Technique: Glenoid
The glenoid surgical technique includes four sizes: XS, S, L, and M. It involves the use of trial implants before placing the definitive implant.
Post-Op X-Ray
This section emphasizes the importance of post-operative X-rays to assess the success of the surgical procedure and the placement of implants.
Reversibility/Revision
The document briefly mentions the potential for reversibility or revision, indicating considerations for future adjustments or corrections if necessary.
