Optimizing glenoid component positioning is a key determinant of stability, function and implant survival in total shoulder arthroplasty. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) is considered the reference method for assessing guide-pin or implant alignment, but it remains a retrospective evaluation and is often difficult to obtain in cadaveric research settings. Optical navigation systems such as…
