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.

- You had a total shoulder replacement performed by Dr. Armstrong

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 checks the bone quality of patients getting a shoulder replacement. It will look at CT scan images to help doctors understand bone health for better surgical planning.
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 compares two types of shoulder replacement surgeries for people with severe shoulder arthritis caused by a large, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It will help doctors understand which surgery may give better results for muscle function.
This trial uses advanced CT and MRI scans combined with computer modeling to predict how well reverse shoulder replacements work in patients with severe rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The goal is to help doctors plan better surgeries and understand which patients will have the best results.
