Study of shoulder replacement implants for eligible adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 20 or older.
- A surgeon says your shoulder structure is suitable for a shoulder replacement implant.
- You have a problem that typically leads to shoulder replacement (like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone death, deformity problems, or certain fractures).
- You can attend all required follow-up visits and complete the study plan.
- You are able and willing to sign the study consent form.
- If you’re getting a reverse shoulder replacement: you have a working deltoid muscle and severely damaged joint or a prior failed shoulder replacement, and you have major rotator muscle loss.

This study is testing a shoulder replacement system made by Zimmer Biomet to see how well it works for people with severe shoulder problems, like arthritis or fractures. If you qualify, you would receive the implant and be asked to come back for regular checkups to track your recovery.
This study tests a new stemless shoulder replacement system for people with shoulder arthritis. The implant uses a metal anchor without a stem and a plastic socket that may be cemented or press-fit.
This study tests a new shoulder implant system for people who need their first shoulder replacement due to arthritis or a shoulder deformity. It helps researchers see how well the implant works and if it improves shoulder function and pain.
This trial studies a specific type of shoulder replacement implant. It may help people who need a first (not replacement) operation for certain shoulder joint problems, as long as their bone and shoulder tissues are suitable.
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
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.
