Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy"

Post-market, prospective, non randomized, open label, multicentre, clinical study analysing outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty with SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid with or without SMR Cementless Finned Short Stem

To compare the functional and anatomical outcomes, and patient satisfaction and compliance between two different postoperative immobilization methods - abduction shoulder brace versus simple arm sling - following 2 common shoulder surgical procedures - rotator cuff repair (RCR) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) through a prospective randomized clinical trial.

The aim of the study is to describe the results after > 10 years due to a prosthesis implant.

The proposed study will compare the efficacy of Triamcinolone versus Ketorolac for intra-articular injection of the knee and shoulder

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) augmentation to at-risk arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs on healing rates and functional outcome scores. The investigators performed an observational cohort study in which a consecutive series of patients with rotator cuff tears at risk for retear was prospectively evaluated after arthroscopic repair augmented with PRFM. Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes of the PRFM-augmented repairs were compared with historical controls with similar at-risk tears without PRFM augmentation.

This study compares costs and effectiveness / utility of three common orthopedic surgeries in shoulder and hand from the perspective of the Swiss health system and the clinic. The cost of health care is continuously rising, making economic considerations part of the decision process, in particular for the allocation of available resources. However, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility studies of interventions in the upper extremities are rare. The purpose of this study is to gain more information and to provide a basis for the decision process.

Evaluate Survivorship for the Biomet® Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder Mini Baseplate.

Patients undergoing surgery in beach chair position (BCP) are at risk for cerebral ischaemia. The impacts of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on haemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation are evaluated during surgery in BCP.

The hypothesis is that computer simulated bony impingement of the bone surrounding the spherical glenoid implant (the glenosphere) along the scapular neck on three-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT) imaging analysis is predictive of the location of clinical scapular notching that develops following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate reverse total shoulder arthroplasty patients preoperative objective measurements and operative objective measurements to determine if there is any effect to postoperative outcomes. Patients who were 18 years old or greater at the time of surgery were followed clinically and radiographically to determine best practice and optimal treatment and technique, risk and rate of complication, and postoperative outcomes.
