About Match Point SystemTM
(SURGEON NAME), M.D. is pleased to be among the first surgeons in the (insert city/region) area to offer the
Match Point System for patients suffering with shoulder arthritis. Using this new technique, Dr. (LAST NAME)
can now tailor shoulder arthroplasty to the patient’s unique anatomy.
Why is this important? Studies have shown the correct placement of the glenoid component is essential
for longevity of the prosthesis1 and positive effects on functional outcomes1.
With the Match Point System, surgeons can optimize the fit, placement and angles of the shoulder prosthesis,
which may allow for enhanced implant performance. This means patient’s and surgeons can aim at enhanced
function and longevity of the implant.

How It Works: Match Point System shoulder replacement
Step 1: Aim
A pre-operative CT scan is taken of the patient’s shoulder. This CT scan is transformed into a 3D model of the
patient’s shoulder. This model allows surgeons to pre-operatively visualize the unique anatomy of each patient.
Step 2: Set
Through the use of proprietary software, the surgeon will set the position, and angles of the prosthesis to
optimize the fit, tailoring it to the unique needs of the patient.
Step 3: Matched
From this plan, a model of the patient anatomy and a surgical guide are developed and manufactured. This
guide is used by the surgeon during the procedure. The guide is secured to the patient through a unique
anchoring feature that helps ensure a secure fit to the bony anatomy. The drill guide enables surgeons to match
the planned implant fit to the patient.
The Result: A shoulder arthroplasty tailored to the unique anatomy of the patient to aim at enhanced patient
outcomes.
