(WARNING: some scenes in this video contain graphic surgical images)
Using the Hololens and mixed reality has now become a routine part of all shoulder replacements Ms. Delaney performs, both at Beacon Hospital and at SSC. It is based on detailed pre-operative planning from a CT scan of the shoulder which allows accurate evaluation of the shoulder joint and is entered into planning software which then allows Ms. Delaney to create not only a surgical plan but also mixed reality visualisation for use during the surgery.
Stryker recently sent a film crew to Dublin to have Ms. Delaney record footage for them as an expert in this new and emerging aspect of shoulder replacement surgery.
