Shoulder replacement using a hybrid implant, with good bone quality
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and your bones have fully matured
- You need a first-time (primary) shoulder replacement on one side for a target shoulder problem
- Your doctor must judge your shoulder and bone quality as good during exam and surgery
- Your diagnosis must match one of these: arthritis (primary/secondary), post-injury arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, certain humeral head fractures, or cuff tear arthritis (with a specific related condition)
- You must NOT be having revision surgery (replacement of a previous implant) and there should be no serious infection in the shoulder
- You must not have recently had things that could affect healing (no steroid injections in past 3 months, no other shoulder replacement on the opposite side in past 3 months, and no metal allergy to the implant materials)

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 studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
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 tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
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 compares two types of shoulder replacement implants for people with long-standing shoulder arthritis. It tests whether a hybrid design (combining different materials) works better than a traditional plastic design for pain relief and shoulder function.
