Shoulder bone quality study for people having joint replacement
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is looking at the bone quality of people getting shoulder replacement surgery to see if it can help guide future treatment. It uses CT scans taken before surgery to check the bone and is sponsored by Zimmer Biomet, a company that makes shoulder implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older with fully grown bones.
- You are scheduled for or plan to have a shoulder replacement (total or reverse).
- Your shoulder problem is due to arthritis, bone death in the shoulder joint, an autoimmune disease, a torn rotator cuff that cannot be repaired, or a functional deformity.
- You must be willing to have a CT scan before surgery and let the study team look at the images.
- You cannot have had a previous failed shoulder replacement on the same side, active infection near the shoulder, or severe bone loss.

This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
This trial studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
This study tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
This study is testing a shoulder replacement system made by Zimmer Biomet to see how well it works for people with severe shoulder problems, like arthritis or fractures. If you qualify, you would receive the implant and be asked to come back for regular checkups to track your recovery.
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 looks at a personalized implant/instrument setup for people having shoulder replacement due to wear-and-tear arthritis (and bone tissue death). It aims to see whether customizing the surgery approach improves outcomes over time, including up to 2 years.
