Reverse shoulder implant study for severely damaged rotator cuff
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies a specialized reverse shoulder implant system for people whose rotator cuff is badly damaged or who had a prior shoulder replacement that failed. It aims to reduce pain and improve function by improving how your shoulder works, especially when the rotator cuff can’t do its job.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe rotator cuff damage plus arthritis, or a prior shoulder replacement that failed with a severely deficient rotator cuff
- Your shoulder/arm bone shape is suitable for this implant, and you have a working deltoid (the main shoulder muscle)
- You need a shoulder replacement for pain and major disability related to rotator cuff deficiency (primary, fracture, or revision)
- You do not have an active serious infection anywhere (such as infection in the shoulder, sepsis, or osteomyelitis)
- You are able and willing to follow study instructions, and you can give informed consent

This trial looks at people getting a reverse shoulder replacement, including some revision surgeries (operations done again). It may help doctors better plan care for different shoulder problems by studying surgical eligibility and outcomes.
This trial looks at a specific shoulder replacement implant and follow-up care for people who need a shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for certain joint problems or fractures. You may be a candidate if you can take part in required visits and your shoulder muscles and bone are suitable.
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.
This study collects real-world information about a reverse shoulder implant used when the rotator cuff is badly damaged. It may help improve how these implants are chosen and how well they work for pain relief and improving arm function.
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 study looks at how well a specific type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder) helps people with severe shoulder pain and limited movement due to a torn rotator cuff that cannot be repaired. The goal is to see if the surgery improves pain and function.
