Robotic Shoulder Replacement: Is It Actually Better? | Dr. Mark Mighell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robotic-assisted shoulder replacement promises extraordinary precision—but does that actually translate into a better shoulder? Dr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens are joined by Dr. Mark Mighell, one of the early surgeons involved in the development of robotic-assisted shoulder replacement, for a deep dive into where the technology started, how it works today, and where it may be headed. They discuss how surgeons plan shoulder replacements using CT-based 3D planning, how robotic assistance can
Muscle Sparing Shoulder Replacement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Should you really wait until you’re 65 to have a shoulder replacement? For younger, active patients with severe shoulder arthritis, that traditional advice can mean living with pain for years — sometimes while becoming less active and less healthy in the process. In this episode of The Shoulder Blueprint, orthopedic shoulder surgeons Dr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens discuss how newer approaches are changing that conversation. We break down subscapularis-sparing shoulder replacement, a techn
Robotic Shoulder Replacement: What the Robot Actually Does (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robotic-assisted shoulder replacement is one of the newest technologies in orthopedic surgery—but what does the robot actually do? Dr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens take you inside the operating room to explain how MAKO robotic-assisted reverse shoulder replacement works. They walk through the process from the preoperative CT scan and 3D surgical plan to tracking the shoulder blade, preparing the socket, and using haptic boundaries that prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned sur
Reverse Shoulder Replacement: How It Works & What to Expect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reverse shoulder replacement has transformed the way surgeons treat some of the most difficult shoulder problems but what exactly are we “reversing,” and why does it work? In this episode of The Shoulder Blueprint , Dr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens explain how reverse shoulder arthroplasty works, how the procedure evolved, and why it has become such an important option for patients with severe arthritis, irreparable rotator cuff tears, fractures, deformity, and failed previous shoulder repl
Pyrocarbon Shoulder Replacement: The New Option for Young, Active Patients (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when someone has severe shoulder arthritis in their 40s or 50s but is still extremely active? Traditional shoulder replacement can provide excellent pain relief but in younger patients, surgeons also have to think about what that shoulder will look like 10, 20, or even 30 years later. IDr. Caleb Davis and Dr. Justin Givens discuss pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty, a newer approach that replaces the humeral head while preserving the patient’s native socket. They explain what pyrocarbon is
