Add-on repair technique for shoulder replacement
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at an extra repair step (augmentation) done during total shoulder arthroplasty, which is a full shoulder replacement. It may help improve how the repaired shoulder works after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having total shoulder arthroplasty (full shoulder replacement)
- You are considered a non-vulnerable population for research participation

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 study compares two surgical approaches for fixing large, two-tendon rotator cuff tears in the shoulder, using a product called BioBrace®. It may help you understand which approach leads to better recovery and shoulder function.
This study tests a new implant called BioBrace to help repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears during shoulder surgery. It may be a good option if you have a moderate-sized tear, have already tried non-surgical treatments, and are between 40 and 70 years old.
This study tests a special implant (ActivBraid) to help repair a torn rotator cuff. If you have a moderate-sized tear and haven't had prior shoulder surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests if adding a special patch (BioEnthesis™) to standard rotator cuff surgery helps the tendon heal better. You may qualify if you have a tear that can be surgically repaired and you are willing to commit to a year of follow-up.
This study is looking at surgery to repair torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function for patients with certain types of tears.
