Scapulo-Thoracic Alignment in B2 Glenoids

Altered scapulothoracic alignment may be a contributing pathoanatomic factor to the development of the B2 pattern of osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to use a patient-specific 3D measurement technique coupling medical imaging and optical motion capture to evaluate and compare scapulothoracic alignment in patients with B2 glenoids. The results of this study may improve our understanding of glenohumeral pathoanatomy and posterior glenoid erosion patterns, and assist with osteoarthritis prevention.

In this project, Artanim was responsible for dynamically simulating shoulders from kinematic data.
