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 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 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 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 trial compares a personalized, guided approach to shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) versus the usual surgical tools. It aims to see whether the guided method improves outcomes and implant performance over at least 2 years.
This trial compares two ways of doing shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for people with advanced shoulder arthritis who have not improved with non-surgical treatments. It may help determine which approach works better for pain and function.
