Shoulder bone quality study for replacement surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks the bone quality of patients getting a shoulder replacement. It will look at CT scan images to help doctors understand bone health for better surgical planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with fully grown bones.
- You are scheduled for a shoulder replacement (standard, total, or reverse).
- You have a shoulder condition like osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, a rotator cuff tear that can't be repaired, or a deformity that needs fixing.
- You are able to have a CT scan before your surgery.
- You agree to let the study team see your CT images.
- You can give informed consent to participate.

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 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 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 trial uses advanced CT and MRI scans combined with computer modeling to predict how well reverse shoulder replacements work in patients with severe rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The goal is to help doctors plan better surgeries and understand which patients will have the best results.
This study is testing two types of shoulder replacement implants (one for arthritis and one for rotator cuff tears) to see how well they work over time. It may be a good option if you have severe shoulder pain from arthritis or a torn rotator cuff.
This study checks how well the rotator cuff (the shoulder’s key tendons/muscles) is working after a total shoulder replacement done for arthritis. It uses CT scans and nerve testing to see what affects shoulder structure and function, which may help improve future care.
