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 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.
