Doctors have begun using DJO Global Inc.'s Match Point System patient-specific instruments in reverse and total shoulder arthroplasty procedures. The first surgeries took place in Sydney, Australia, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
“I am excited about this technology and its impact on shoulder arthroplasty. It will revolutionize our approach to pre-operative planning and our ability to accurately execute the surgical procedure even in the most challenging of cases,” said Jonathan Levy, M.D., (Holy Cross Hospital, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), who performed the first Match Point System surgery in the United States.
DJO collaborated with Materialise to develop the Match Point System, which provides advanced pre-operative surgical planning and patient-customized drill guides to accommodate a reverse or total shoulder arthroplasty procedure. The Match Point System employs Materialise’s SurgiCase Connect software to create CT-based pre-operative case plans for surgeons to template and prepare for their reverse shoulder arthroplasty surgeries using the DJO Surgical Reverse or Turon Shoulder Systems. Upon review and plan approval, the surgeon is provided with an ergonomically-designed drill guide that is customized to the patient’s unique glenoid anatomy, enabling greater accuracy in implant positioning.
“With the increased patient demand for total and reverse shoulder replacements, surgeons are demanding more in terms of improved instrumentation, planning tools, and techniques for their shoulder cases,” said Bryan Monroe, senior vice president and general manager of DJO Surgical.
DJO is combining the new Match Point System with the Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis and Turon Modular Total Shoulder System along with a medical education program for shoulder arthroplasty. The Match Point System is CE Marked and has also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510k clearance.
