Shoulder replacement techniques for advanced shoulder arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different surgical techniques during shoulder replacement for people with advanced shoulder (glenohumeral) arthritis. It may help surgeons choose the approach that best restores function and reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced shoulder arthritis in the ball-and-socket joint and your surgeon says replacement is appropriate
- Non-surgical treatments (pain medicines/anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, and activity changes) have not helped for at least 6 months
- Your X-ray/scan shows a specific shoulder socket alignment (glenoid retroversion) between 10° and 26°
- Imaging or surgery confirms advanced cartilage wear in the shoulder (head and possibly the socket)
- You are 18 or older and can understand and sign the consent form

This study compares two types of surgery for advanced shoulder osteoarthritis when the shoulder socket is turned backward more than 15 degrees. It aims to see which surgical approach works best for pain and function when the bone alignment issue can be corrected.
This study tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
This trial compares two ways of doing shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for people with advanced shoulder arthritis who have not improved with non-surgical treatments. It may help determine which approach works better for pain and function.
This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with arthritis and an intact rotator cuff. The goal is to see which operation works better and is more reliable for your type of shoulder problem.
This trial studies a specific type of reverse shoulder implant to improve shoulder function after severe joint wear. It’s for people whose shoulder pain and loss of function did not improve enough with non-surgical treatments and who need shoulder arthroplasty.
This trial compares two types of shoulder replacement implants for people with long-standing shoulder arthritis. It tests whether a hybrid design (combining different materials) works better than a traditional plastic design for pain relief and shoulder function.
