Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis Simulation

Summary

Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis Simulation investigates how different implant and anatomical parameters affect shoulder range of motion after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).

The study focuses in particular on glenoid lateralization, humeral inclination and critical shoulder angle (CSA), using computer-assisted simulations to evaluate their influence on joint mechanics and the risk of impingement or instability.

The objective is to identify surgical parameters that can help optimize implant configuration and reduce the risk of articular conflict and dislocation.

Within the project, Artanim was responsible for the dynamic simulation of reverse shoulder prostheses using kinematic data.
