About this study

Official title: Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients 60 Years Old and Younger: Short-term Clinical and Radiographic Results

The purpose of this study is to assess the early outcomes following Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) in patients sixty years or younger for the purpose of characterizing these patients, evaluating their clinical outcomes and radiographic appearance.The investigators would like to know how quickly they are healing and returning to their baseline activities of daily living and ability to work. This will help when counseling patients prior to surgery as it will give us a better defined and study supported understanding of the post-operative recovery timeline in the younger population.

Read the detailed description

This study is looking at patients who are sixty years or younger at the time of they undergo a reverse total shoulder replacement. This is an important population to look at their functional and clinical outcomes as they are often still employed and have more physical demands upon their shoulder in everyday life than the older replacement population for which there are more outcome data available. The investigators would like to determine how the younger population is healing and returning to their baseline activities of daily living and ability to work. This will help when counseling patients prior to surgery as it will give us a study supported understanding of the post-operative recovery timeline in the younger population. The investigators will review x-rays to evaluate healing at two years. Functional surveys are given pre and post operatively (1 \& 2 years) and these will be reviewed as well. A physical exam is also performed to determine range of motion pre and post operatively (1 \& 2 years).

What participants receive

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

  • shoulder x-rayDiagnostic test

    post operative shoulder x-ray at minimum 2 year post op

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess functional change from before surgery to two years post surgery

    Assess changes in range of motion as part of the overall clinical outcome function scores. ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Questionnaire)

    Measured: 2 years post op

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Radiographic Outcomes

    Evaluate the shoulder replacement for any signs of implant loosening or bone loss. X-rays are reviewed by Orthopedic Surgeons. There is either loosening present/absent and bone loss present/absent.

    Measured: 2 years post op

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?

Assess functional change from before surgery to two years post surgery (time frame: 2 years post op). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03148184, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
