What this trial studies

This study is a multi-center prospective registry aimed at collecting clinical outcomes from patients undergoing anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Participants will be treated according to standard care at their respective centers and will be approached for enrollment after deciding to undergo shoulder arthroplasty. The study aims to enroll at least 500 patients for each type of shoulder arthroplasty, gathering data to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of these procedures. The registry will help in understanding the long-term results and patient experiences associated with shoulder replacements.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 100 who are planning to undergo primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty with an Arthrex prosthesis.

Not a fit: Patients with co-morbidities or obligations that would prevent them from participating in the study may not benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could provide valuable insights that improve surgical outcomes and patient care for shoulder arthroplasty.

How similar studies have performed: Other similar registries have shown success in improving surgical practices and patient outcomes, indicating a positive precedent for this approach.
