Exactech has unveiled its next-generation Shoulder Planning App, a transformative advancement in orthopedic surgery that redefines the standard for shoulder arthroplasty planning. Integrated with Exactech’s Active Intelligence® platform, the updated app offers state-of-the-art features, including advanced osteophyte removal tools, automated anatomic measurements, and enhanced 3D visualization. These innovations empower surgeons to conduct highly personalized, data-driven surgical plans based on each patient’s unique anatomy, marking a significant leap forward in precision medicine.

The app’s intuitive interface and new automated features significantly enhance usability and efficiency. Surgeons can now generate comprehensive preoperative reports and evaluate critical angles and subluxation measurements automatically—streamlining the decision-making process. Additionally, the seamless integration with ExactechGPS® enables real-time navigation in the operating room, ensuring implant placement within 2mm and 2 degrees of the original plan. This closed-loop system bridges the gap between preoperative planning and intraoperative execution, making it a powerful tool in modern surgical workflows.

By combining cutting-edge software with real-time guidance, Exactech’s Shoulder Planning App addresses key challenges in shoulder replacement surgery, including implant accuracy, surgical efficiency, and variability in outcomes. With over 100,000 cases already planned using this technology, the app’s adoption reflects its value in improving patient care. As nearly half of Exactech’s shoulder procedures globally now utilize this planning-navigation ecosystem, the company is setting a new benchmark for orthopedic surgical technology that emphasizes precision, consistency, and better long-term results for patients.
