Comparing two ways to release a muscle in reverse shoulder replacement

This trial compares two surgical approaches for reverse total shoulder replacement—a procedure that replaces a damaged shoulder joint. Researchers are testing whether removing part of a shoulder bone (the coracoid) helps improve your arm's ability to rotate inward after surgery.

This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with severe shoulder arthritis and a torn rotator cuff. It aims to see if one approach provides better muscle function and outcomes.

This trial looks at people getting a reverse shoulder replacement, including some revision surgeries (operations done again). It may help doctors better plan care for different shoulder problems by studying surgical eligibility and outcomes.

This study tests whether a special surgical technique that releases tight tissue around the shoulder during rotator cuff repair can help prevent stiffness after the operation. It is for people with small-to-medium rotator cuff tears who do not already have shoulder stiffness.

This trial looks at whether tightness in a small chest muscle (pectoralis minor) is linked to rotator cuff tears. If you have a partial rotator cuff tear or a healthy shoulder, you might be able to join to help answer this question.

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.
