Computer modeling to predict shoulder replacement outcomes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old
- You have severe rotator cuff tear arthropathy (a specific type of shoulder damage from a large torn rotator cuff)
- You have specific glenoid bone shape patterns (Walch B or C type)
- You are scheduled for your first reverse shoulder replacement surgery on one shoulder only
- You have recent high-quality CT and MRI images of your shoulder available
- You are willing to follow up for at least 6 months after surgery and share your anonymized medical information

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 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 study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
This study collects real-world information about a reverse shoulder implant used when the rotator cuff is badly damaged. It may help improve how these implants are chosen and how well they work for pain relief and improving arm function.
This study looks at how well a type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) works for people with shoulder arthritis. It may help improve understanding of expected results and safety with a specific stemless implant called SMR.
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.
