Comparing two types of reverse shoulder replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of reverse shoulder replacements: one that uses a small piece of your own bone (BIO-RSA) and another that uses a special metal implant (MIO-RSA) to fill the socket. The goal is to see which one stays more stable in the bone after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a shoulder problem like severe arthritis, a large rotator cuff tear, or a failed rotator cuff repair.
- The socket of your shoulder joint must be worn down or pushed inward (glenoid medialization).
- You must be able to read and write in Norwegian.
- You cannot have severe osteoporosis, bone death in the upper arm, dementia, or a weak deltoid muscle.
- This trial is not for people who need a second shoulder replacement, have a serious infection, or a recent fracture.

This study compares two types of reverse shoulder replacement: one that uses a bone graft (BIO-RSA) and one that doesn't. It aims to see if the BIO-RSA method gives better pain relief and function for people with arthritis, large rotator cuff tears, or failed prior cuff surgery.
This study looks at how the shoulder changes position (“reverts”) after a reverse shoulder replacement. It may help doctors better understand what to expect after surgery in people with certain age-related shoulder wear and tear.
This trial studies a rehabilitation plan after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (reverse shoulder replacement) to see if it improves recovery. If you are eligible, you may be guided through specific therapy and follow-up visits as part of the study.
This trial compares three types of shoulder replacements to see which works best for people over 70 who need the surgery for arthritis or joint damage, not for injury or cancer.
This study looks at how well a type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) works for people with shoulder arthritis. It may help improve understanding of expected results and safety with a specific stemless implant called SMR.
This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgeries for people with severe shoulder arthritis caused by a large, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It will help doctors understand which surgery may give better results for muscle function.
