Bingham Healthcare Doctor Performs Advanced Shoulder Surgery With Mixed Reality Guidance System

WEB Bingham Health Care Announces Successful First Shoulder Surgery Using Mixed Reality Guidance System

Groundbreaking Surgery Uses Advanced Technology to Enhance Patient Outcomes

Pocatello, Idaho -

WEB Bingham Healthcare is proud to announce its successful completion of the first shoulder arthroplasty surgery performed using a mixed reality (MR) guidance system in Pocatello. The surgery was performed by Dr. Nathan Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder and elbow surgery.

The Blueprint Mixed Reality Guidance System, developed by Stryker, offers surgeons a new level of precision and accuracy during shoulder arthroplasty procedures. The system uses MR technology to create a virtual 3D model of the patient's shoulder, which is then projected onto the surgeon's field of view through a headset. This allows the surgeon to visualize the surgical site in real-time and accurately position the implant.

Dr. Richardson is excited about the potential of this technology to improve patient outcomes. "The Blueprint Mixed Reality Guidance System provides me with a level of visual detail that I wouldn't have otherwise," he said. "This leads to more precise implant placement and a reduced risk of complications, which ultimately benefits my patients."

WEB Stryker's Blueprint Mixed Reality MR Guidance System is the latest in a series of advancements in surgical technology that are improving patient care. As these technologies continue to develop, Bingham Healthcare is committed to providing its patients with access to the most innovative and effective surgical treatments available.
