Comparing shoulder replacement options for people over 70
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares three types of shoulder replacement surgery to see which works best for people over 70. It aims to help you and your doctor choose the right option if you need a shoulder replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
- You need a shoulder replacement for a condition like arthritis (not for a recent injury or tumor).
- You are open to any of the three types of shoulder replacement being studied.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study compares two types of reverse shoulder replacements: one that uses a small piece of your own bone (BIO-RSA) and another that uses a special metal implant (MIO-RSA) to fill the socket. The goal is to see which one stays more stable in the bone after surgery.
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 compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with arthritis and an intact rotator cuff. The goal is to see which operation works better and is more reliable for your type of shoulder problem.
This study compares how well two different shoulder surgeries—reverse total shoulder replacement and rotator cuff repair—work for people 60 and older, at least one year after the operation. If you meet the age and surgery requirements, your results could help doctors decide which procedure is better for older adults.
