Resumen: Adequate deltoid and rotator cuff lengthening in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is crucial to maximize the postoperative functional outcome and to avoid complications (La¨dermann et al., 2014). Hence surgeons and patients could benefit from including muscle length information in preoperative planning software.
Although different methods have been introduced to automatically indicate patient-specific muscle attachment and wrapping points (Kaptein & van der Helm, 2004; Marra et al., 2015), the definition of a fast and accurate workflow is still a challenge, due to the large variability in bone shapes.
Statistical shape modelling (SSM) has recently been used to automatically indicate landmark on target bones (Plessers et al., 2018). This method is less dependent on shape variability and could overcome the aforementioned limitation in accuracy. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop and evaluate the accuracy of a novel automatic method for measuring deltoid and rotator cuff elongation during preoperative planning of shoulder arthroplasty, based on a statistical shape modelling approach.
