Michael Boin, MD, Performs First ARVIS™ Augmented Reality–Navigated Shoulder Replacement and Leads the World in Clinical Adoption

Orthopedic shoulder surgeon Michael Boin, MD, has made history in shoulder arthroplasty by performing the world’s first ARVIS™ augmented reality–navigated shoulder replacement surgery in June of 2024 at Surgicenter of Kansas City in Kansas City, Missouri. Since that landmark procedure, Dr. Boin has gone on to perform the highest volume of ARVIS augmented reality–navigated shoulder replacements worldwide, establishing himself as a global leader in the clinical adoption of augmented reality technology in orthopedic surgery.

ARVIS augmented reality navigation represents a significant advancement in shoulder replacement surgery, providing surgeons with real-time, three-dimensional visualization to support precise implant positioning and surgical execution. Dr. Boin was the first surgeon to translate this technology from concept to clinical reality, demonstrating its feasibility and value in live patient care.

Through his high-volume clinical experience, Dr. Boin has played a pivotal role in refining surgical workflows, establishing best practices, and advancing surgeon understanding of augmented reality–guided shoulder replacement. His work has helped accelerate global awareness and adoption of ARVIS technology among orthopedic surgeons seeking greater accuracy and consistency in complex shoulder arthroplasty cases.

Dr. Boin’s leadership in ARVIS navigation reflects his broader commitment to innovation, surgeon education, and advancing surgical technology to improve outcomes in shoulder replacement surgery. As augmented reality continues to reshape the future of orthopedics, Dr. Boin remains at the forefront of its clinical evolution.
