What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the position of the scapula bone in the shoulder while standing and comparing it to its position lying down, using a three-dimensional approach. This study focuses on patients preparing for reverse shoulder arthroplasty surgery and uses a non-radiant, portable system that combines ultrasound with a camera integrated into a tablet to locate the scapula precisely. The study involves a localizer ultrasound performed on patients with their shoulders uncovered to identify key bony landmarks such as the lower angle, coracoid, scapular spine, and acromioclavicular joints. This ultrasound probe is connected to a tablet, which helps to map these points in three dimensions while the patient is standing. The ultrasound is done during a surgical consultation or the day before surgery, taking about half a day. Participants will undergo ultrasound assessment to measure scapular location in three dimensions while standing. Researchers will evaluate the accuracy of the device using a validation bench on the same day. This study is conducted at a single center and involves patients already undergoing pre-operative care for shoulder arthroplasty. The total involvement is brief, focusing on this imaging procedure alongside routine care.
