✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with primary or secondary osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or other specified shoulder conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with malignant diseases, infections, significant functional deficits unrelated to the shoulder, or known allergies to the implant materials may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on the clinical and radiological outcomes of the Medacta Shoulder System in patients with various shoulder conditions. It aims to gather data on the effectiveness and safety of this shoulder implant in real-world settings following its market release. Patients over 18 years old with specific shoulder diagnoses will be monitored for their recovery and overall satisfaction post-surgery. The study will include a diverse range of shoulder-related conditions to assess the implant's performance across different patient profiles.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the Medacta Shoulder System, potentially improving treatment options for patients with shoulder conditions.
How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational and focuses on a specific implant, similar post-marketing surveillance studies have shown success in evaluating orthopedic devices.
