Philadelphia-based Rothman Orthopaedic Institute and AdventHealth Surgery Center Innovation Tower in Orlando, Fla., was the first in the world to use Apple Vision Pro in a total shoulder replacement surgery.
The mixed reality system was used by surgical tech and projects digital images of instruments and the surgical workflow, according to a Nov. 11 news release. The team used eXeX software to assist them.
AdventHealth and Rothman will continue to use Apple Vision Pro for other types of orthopedic surgery, and the health system is exploring additional applications such as general and cardiovascular surgery.
