Personalized approach to shoulder joint replacement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a personalized glenoid guide in total shoulder arthroplasty for patients with shoulder arthritis. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one using a patient-specific guide based on preoperative CT scans and the other using a standard method with generic guides. The study aims to improve the precision of glenoid component implantation, which is crucial for reducing complications such as loosening and instability. Preoperative assessments will include demographic data, range of motion, quality of life, and functional status.
