CT and nerve tests after shoulder replacement for arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks how well the rotator cuff (the shoulder’s key tendons/muscles) is working after a total shoulder replacement done for arthritis. It uses CT scans and nerve testing to see what affects shoulder structure and function, which may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how shoulder arthritis affects joint movement patterns. It compares patients with arthritis, healthy volunteers, and people who had a shoulder replacement that later needed a revision.
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 study looks at how well a specific shoulder replacement implant works for people with worn-out (arthritic) shoulder joints. It also checks how well the implant stays in the right position as you heal after surgery.
This study is looking at the bone quality of people getting shoulder replacement surgery to see if it can help guide future treatment. It uses CT scans taken before surgery to check the bone and is sponsored by Zimmer Biomet, a company that makes shoulder implants.
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 severe shoulder arthritis and a torn rotator cuff. It aims to see if one approach provides better muscle function and outcomes.
