What this trial studies

This international, multicenter observational study aims to collect safety and performance data on the PERFORM™ Humeral System after shoulder arthroplasty. Participants will be monitored at baseline, immediately post-operation, and annually for up to 10 years. The study will utilize Patient Reported Outcome Measures to assess quality of life, pain, functional improvements, and safety of the implants, alongside radiographic evaluations. The data gathered will support post-market surveillance and contribute to regulatory submissions and educational materials.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are considered suitable for shoulder arthroplasty using the PERFORM™ Humeral System.

Not a fit: Patients who are unable to comply with study procedures or belong to vulnerable groups may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of the safety and effectiveness of the PERFORM™ Humeral System, potentially leading to improved treatment options for patients with shoulder conditions.

How similar studies have performed: While this study is focused on a specific device, similar observational studies have shown success in evaluating post-market performance of orthopedic implants.
