"The custom implant fits exactly to the patient's shoulder and allows the surgeon to precisely match preoperative planning with intra-operative implant placement."
"Before this new technique, surgeons would need to put a flat implant on a curved structure, the shoulder socket. In order to make that match you have to shave the socket flat, and you remove bone from the shoulder, which is beneficial to keep in case the patient needs a future surgery or other procedure to address their condition."
