Anatomic TSA Using SOC Instrumentation
During Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty, the surgeon will use the pre operative CT scan at least two weeks prior to surgery to define the glenoid pathology, select the implant of choice and plan the placement of that implant in the desired position. This information will be available to the surgeon at the time of surgery but the SmartBone models and the IRI will not be available. The surgeon will have pre operative x-rays and the pre operative CT scan provided by the radiology department for intra - use. The surgeon will perform the surgery using any of the instruments provided for guide pin placement operative the. These include a wide variety of free hand and adjustable guides that assist the surgeon for placement of the guide pin for location and trajectory. Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty will be performed by the two surgeons of the study as their Standard of Care. All procedures associated with the surgery will be the same in the two arms, with the exception of the tools used to place the guide pin for placement of the glenoid implant.
Anatomic TSA Using IRI Instrumentation
During Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty, the surgeon will have use of the SmartBone model of the patient's anatomy and glenoid guide-pin location, and the Intelligent Reuseable Instrument for placement of the glenoid implant. Anatomic TSA using IRI Instrumentation: Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) will be performed using the SmartBone and Intelligent Reusable Instrument (IRI) to transfer the pre-operative plan for glenoid implant positioning to the patient's anatomy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Two weeks post surgery

Population: Outcome measures data not collected/ no patients analyzed for this OM. A broader study including different surgeons is required to test the effectiveness of this technology.

Investigators will compare the placement of the glenoid component between the two technologies within and between the two surgeons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Two weeks post surgery

Population: The Walch classification of glenoid morphology is the most commonly used system describing glenohumeral pathology in primary osteoarthritis. Glenoids were classified as asymmetric moderate-to severe posterior glenoid bone loss (Walch type-C or moderate to-severe type-B2 and B3 glenoids), without bone loss (Walch type-A1 glenoid), posterior bone loss requiring \<10 degrees of correction (Walch type-B1 or mild type-B2 and B3 glenoids), or symmetric glenoid bone loss (Walch type-A2 glenoid).

Investigators will evaluate the difference in glenoid component position between SOC and IRI technologies based on severity of shoulder pathology (using Walch classifications), if the difference between the severity of shoulder pathology is less than p-value 0.05. If p-value is greater than 0.05, investigators will not evaluate the difference in the glenoid component position between SOC and IRI.
