Testing outcomes after reverse shoulder replacement with a SMR implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) works for people with shoulder arthritis. It may help improve understanding of expected results and safety with a specific stemless implant called SMR.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have shoulder arthritis related to the rotator cuff (rotator-cuff arthropathy) or shoulder osteoarthritis
- You can give written consent after the study is explained to you
- You are not pregnant, and you are not breastfeeding
- You are not planning a pregnancy during the study
- You do not have any implant-related reason the SMR stemless device cannot be used for the reverse shoulder setup

This trial looks at a “mirror” shoulder replacement system for adults with painful shoulder arthritis who need their shoulder replaced. It aims to see how well the implant works and how safely it can be used for people who can follow study instructions.
This study looks at how the shoulder changes position (“reverts”) after a reverse shoulder replacement. It may help doctors better understand what to expect after surgery in people with certain age-related shoulder wear and tear.
This trial tests a new shoulder replacement system that does not require a stem (a long piece that goes into the arm bone). It is for patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The study will see how well the device works and how it compares to other treatments.
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 study is testing two types of shoulder replacement implants (one for arthritis and one for rotator cuff tears) to see how well they work over time. It may be a good option if you have severe shoulder pain from arthritis or a torn rotator cuff.
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.
