Study of a new stemless shoulder replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new shoulder replacement system that does not require a stem (a long piece that goes into the arm bone). It is for patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The study will see how well the device works and how it compares to other treatments.

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 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 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.
This study looks at how well a specific type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder) helps people with severe shoulder pain and limited movement due to a torn rotator cuff that cannot be repaired. The goal is to see if the surgery improves pain and function.
This study looks at how well a specific shoulder replacement implant works for people with worn-out (arthritic) shoulder joints. It also checks how well the implant stays in the right position as you heal after 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.
