Brief summary

The objective of this study is to analyse the positioning of the scapula in standing position and compared to the supine position (CT scan) in 3 dimensions (3 rotations of the scapula) using a non-radiant, portable system, combining an ultrasound probe with marker and a camera integrated into a Tablet for the three-dimensional location of the marker (probe).

Detailed description

This is a mono-center trial. Patients in the process of pre-operative care of a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (CT Scan already available as part of the care course in supine position) will be offered the study. A localizer ultrasound will be performed during surgical consultation or the day before the surgery in standing position (duration: 1/2 day). This consultation takes place during the course of the surgical consultation or when the patient is admitted the day before his surgical procedure.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTScapular positioning in Standing position using Sonography

The localizer ultrasound of the shoulder is performed in an unclothed patient (at the shoulders) and comes to locate bony landmarks using the ultrasound probe as a Transcutaneous localizer.

Intervention model description

This is mono-center study. Patients in the process of preoperative care of a Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (CT Scan already available as part of the extended care course) will be offered the study. A localizer ultrasound will be performed during surgical consultation or the day before the surgical procedure in standing position (duration: 1/2 day).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Study the location of the scapula in 3 dimensions for the patient in standing positionDay 1descriptive statistics of the population : mean and standard deviation of the 3 rotations of the scapula in each plane of reference coronal plane expressed in degree. Comparison with the supine position and analysis of any differences.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluating the accuracy of the device using a validation benchDay 1Validation of the device using a biomechanical bench. The rotation will be assessed in coronal plane in degree. The differences between the measurements of the biomechanical bench will be compared to the measurements validation bench to assess the mean error and standard deviation of the ultrasound device
