• Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, introduces the Arthrex Modular Glenoid System with Virtual Implant Positioning (VIP) for the first time in India. This is the latest addition to the field of joint replacement surgeries.
• On average, 5,400+ shoulder replacement surgeries are done by trained and skilled shoulder replacement surgeons in India. Using a Virtual Implant Positioning System will significantly improve the scenario of shoulder replacement surgery in the country.
• Shoulder replacement is recommended for patients experiencing excruciating pain due to arthritis or injuries of the shoulder. Traditional shoulder surgery does not offer customization according to the individual patient's anatomy and sometimes struggles with the precision of implant placement.

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Creates a virtual shoulder model
  • Ensures unmatched precision
  • Customization according to each patient
  • Reduces postoperative complications
  • Promotes faster recovery
• The Arthrex System helps surgeons plan the precise placement of shoulder implants before surgery. It creates a virtual shoulder unique to each patient. This minimally invasive surgery reduces the chances of complications and promotes faster recovery.
