Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Gross Rotator Cuff Deficiency; Post-traumatic Arthritis; Revision Total Shoulder Arthroplasty; Avascular Necrosis; Irreducible 3-and 4-part Proximal Humeral Fractures; Osteoarthritis; Rheumatoid Arthritis; Ununited Humeral Head Fracture
• Interventions: Device: Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System

• Registration Number: NCT01480440
• Lead Sponsor: Zimmer Biomet

Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System when used in primary or revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Detailed Description

The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System when used in primary or revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. This will be done by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records. Data will be collected and analyzed to monitor pain, function, and survivorship and to confirm the performance of the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System.

Performance will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events as well as by assessment of the overall pain and functional performances, survivorship, health status and radiographic parameters of all enrolled study subjects who receive the Trabecular metal Reverse Shoulder System.

Pain and functional performance will be measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Assessment and the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), survivorship will be based on removal or intended removal of the device, health status will be determined by evaluation of the Short Form Survey12 (SF-12) as well as Adverse Events (AEs) and radiographic parameters analysis of x-rays.

• The patient is a known alcohol or drug abuser;
• The patient is anticipated to be non-compliant;
• The patient has one of the following compromising the affected limb: a significant injury to the upper brachial plexus, paralysis of the axillary nerve or a neuromuscular disease compromising the affected limb which would render the procedure unjustifiable;
