Background: Navigated augmented reality (AR) through a head-mounted display (HMD) may lead to accurate glenoid component placement in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the deviation between planned, intra- and postoperative inclination, retroversion, entry point, depth, and rotation of the glenoid component placement assisted by a navigated AR through HMD during RSA. Methods: Both shoulders of 6 fresh frozen human cadavers, free from fractures or other bony pathologies, were used. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were used for the 3-dimensional (3D) planning. The glenoid component placement was assisted using a navigated AR system through an HMD in all specimens. Intraoperative inclination, retroversion, depth, and rotation were measured by the system. A postoperative CT scan was performed. The pre- and postoperative 3D CT scan reconstructions were superimposed to calculate the deviation between planned and postoperative inclination, retroversion, entry point, depth, and rotation of the glenoid component placement. Additionally, a comparison between intra- and postoperative values was calculated. Outliers were defined as >10° inclination, >10° retroversion, >3 mm entry point. Results: The registration algorithm of the scapulae prior to the procedure was correctly completed for all cases. The deviations between planned and postoperative values were 1.0° ± 0.7° for inclination, 1.8° ± 1.3° for retroversion, 1.1 ± 0.4 mm for entry point, 0.7 ± 0.6 mm for depth, and 1.7° ± 1.6° for rotation. The deviation between intra- and postoperative values were 0.9° ± 0.8° for inclination, 1.2° ± 1.1° for retroversion, 0.6 ± 0.5 mm for depth, and 0.3° ± 0.2° for rotation. There were no outliers between planned and postoperative parameters. Conclusion: In this study, the use of a navigated AR system through an HMD for RSA led to low deviation between planned and postoperative values and between intra- and postoperative parameters.
