Reverse shoulder replacement study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 95 years old
- You are scheduled for reverse shoulder replacement (including a repeat/revision surgery)
- Your subscapularis tendon (a shoulder tendon) must be repairable
- You must be able to have a pre-op MRI or CT scan of the shoulder
- You do not have an irreparable subscapularis tendon with significant fatty change
- You have not had a prior proximal humerus fracture and no revision with upper arm bone loss

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.
This study compares how well two different shoulder surgeries—reverse total shoulder replacement and rotator cuff repair—work for people 60 and older, at least one year after the operation. If you meet the age and surgery requirements, your results could help doctors decide which procedure is better for older adults.
This study uses special computer models to predict stress on the shoulder bone (acromion) after reverse shoulder replacement, which may help prevent fractures. Participants need to have certain scans and be between 60 and 80 years old.
This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
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 study looks at whether repairing a specific shoulder tendon (the subscapularis) improves outcomes after reverse shoulder replacement. You may be eligible if you’re getting a reverse shoulder implant because of severe arthritis and your tendon is strong enough to repair on MRI.
