Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the use of autologous bone graft around the anchor-peg glenoid prosthesis correlates with (1.) bony apposition on computed tomography scans, (2.) decreased radiolucent lines, (3.) a decrease in component loosening, and (4.) better functional outcomes.

About this study

Official title: Long Term Outcome Follow-up of Glenoid Anchor Peg Component Fixation Utilizing Autologous Bone Graft in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the use of autologous bone graft around the anchor-peg glenoid prosthesis correlates with (1.) bony apposition on computed tomography scans, (2.) decreased radiolucent lines, (3.) a decrease in component loosening, and (4.) better functional outcomes. Investigators hypothesize that a glenoid anchor peg component fixation utilizing autologous bone graft in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) will have a lower incidence of glenoid loosening and that the absence of radiolucent lines will correlate with excellent shoulder function. Glenoid component loosening remains a major concern following total shoulder arthroplasty and is the man reason for failure. Despite positive findings in the investigators previous study (same population at a minimum of 2 year post operative follow up), it is reasonable that loosening rates could increase with longer follow-up. This study will be a minimum of 7 year post operative follow up.

Read the detailed description

Long term outcome follow-up of glenoid anchor peg component fixation utilizing autologous bone graft in total shoulder arthroplasty. This research will be a case series study to evaluate the adequacy of fixation and functional outcome of the glenoid anchor peg following autologous bone grafting around the prosthesis at the time of implant. Eligibility criteria are subjects,who were treated at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine, with a total shoulder replacement using an anchor peg glenoid and autologous bone grafting, and who are now at least 9 years out from surgery. Each subject will be evaluated and this will include having three plain radiographs of the operated shoulder of which 2 will be true anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs of the glenohumeral joint, one in internal rotation and the other in external rotation, along with axillary lateral films. In addition, the subject will have a computed tomographic (CT) scan, without contrast dye, to examine the shoulder. One of the study personnel will use the Constant Score and Simple Shoulder Test to obtain specific shoulder functional, motion, and strength outcomes as well as pain assessment. A patient completed questionnaire, Rand Short Form Health Survey, (Rand SF-36) will be obtained to look at association with general health status. Investigators hypothesize that there will be a low incidence of glenoid loosening with a TSA (total shoulder arthroplasty) using an anchor peg glenoid and autologous bone grafting. In addition, investigators suggest that the absence of radiolucent lines will correlate with excellent shoulder function. A study was previously completed at our facility on same population at a minimum of 2 year follow up. At that time, and despite more than 10 years of widespread clinical use, no radiographic or clinical data existed regarding this unique component type. The findings from this prior study indicated that total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) utilizing minimal glenoid peripheral peg cement and autologous reamings placed between radial fins of the central peg allowed host bone incorporation for the central peg and that better bone incorporation imparted fewer overall peg lucencies. The study findings were accepted for presentation at The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2010, New Orleans. Despite these positive findings, loosening rates could increase farther out from surgery, hence the purpose for the current proposed longer follow up study which is evaluation at a minimum of 9 years post surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CT, X-RayRadiation

    2 anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs of the glenohumeral joint, one in internal rotation and the other in external rotation, along with axillary lateral films, will be completed of the affected operated shoulder. Also, a computed tomographic scan without contrast performed of same shoulder.

  • Physical assessmentOther

    Physically evaluate for shoulder function and pain using American Shoulder Elbow Score (ASES) Constant score and the Simple Shoulder Test to obtain specific shoulder functional, motion,and strength outcomes.

  • QuestionnaireOther

    Rand Short Form Health Survey (Rand SF-36) which is a patient completed quality of life measurement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthritis, run by University of Nebraska at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with bone presence between radial fins of the glenoid component's central peg measured by thin CT scans and using Yian CT-based radiolucency scores. (time frame: Day One). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
