Predicting shoulder bone stress after reverse shoulder replacement
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses special computer models to predict stress on the shoulder bone (acromion) after reverse shoulder replacement, which may help prevent fractures. Participants need to have certain scans and be between 60 and 80 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have shoulder arthritis caused by a torn rotator cuff (cuff tear arthropathy), with specific bone changes seen on scans.
- You are planning to have your first (not a repeat) total shoulder replacement on one side only.
- You have high-quality CT and MRI scans of your shoulder taken before surgery.
- You agree to let researchers use your de-identified medical images and data for this study.
- You can commit to at least a 6-month follow-up after your shoulder replacement.

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 studies a specialized reverse shoulder implant system for people whose rotator cuff is badly damaged or who had a prior shoulder replacement that failed. It aims to reduce pain and improve function by improving how your shoulder works, especially when the rotator cuff can’t do its job.
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 tests if a special exercise program before shoulder replacement surgery improves how well you can rotate your arm inward after the operation. Participants do exercises for 6 weeks before surgery and are followed for 2 years.
This trial studies a specific type of reverse shoulder implant to improve shoulder function after severe joint wear. It’s for people whose shoulder pain and loss of function did not improve enough with non-surgical treatments and who need shoulder arthroplasty.
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.
