Shoulder joint patterns in arthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how shoulder arthritis affects joint movement patterns. It compares patients with arthritis, healthy volunteers, and people who had a shoulder replacement that later needed a revision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have shoulder arthritis and are scheduled for a shoulder replacement at University Hospitals Leuven.
- You are pain-free at the time of the special X-ray (EOS imaging).
- You are a healthy adult without shoulder pain or injury.
- You had a shoulder replacement for arthritis at University Hospitals Leuven in the last 30 years and later needed another surgery because the implant loosened.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how changes in knee alignment affect symptoms and joint biology in people with early knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat knee OA.
This study uses a special low-dose X-ray machine (EOS®) to take 3D pictures of your shoulder after reverse total shoulder replacement. The goal is to better understand how the replacement parts move and fit together. It may help improve future surgeries.
This study uses a special full-body low-dose X-ray machine (EOS) to take images of your shoulder while you are standing, before you have shoulder replacement surgery. The goal is to see if the ball of the shoulder joint sits in a slightly different position when you are upright, which could help doctors plan your surgery better.
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.
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.
