Filter by:To determine the functional outcomes, complications and muscle performance by isokinetic study of two reverse arthroplasty systems (one with medialized center of rotation and the other with lateralized center of rotation) in the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathies or irreparable cuff tears.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a well-established treatment for rotator cuff arthropathy. However, the effectiveness of RSA has not been compared to non-surgical treatment in a randomised controlled trial. Shoulder exercises may be an effective treatment for reducing pain and improving function in glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The primary aim of this trial is to examine if RSA followed by standard postsurgical rehabilitation is superior to a 12-week exercise programme in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy eligible for unilateral RSA. The investigators hypothesise that surgical intervention followed by standard rehabilitation, results in clinically relevant (14-point, on a scale from 0-100) improvement compared to the exercise intervention.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been widely used in the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy. Follow-up has historically focused on the glenoid component because of problems with fixation and scapular notching leading to functional failure. Since several patients have shown cortical thinning of the proximal lateral humeral cortex during follow-up, further research is recommended to evaluate the cause and clinical impact of these radiographic changes. The goal of this study is to collect long-term radiographic and clinical data in order to facilitate the identification of risk factors.
To determine the differences in the placement of the glenoid implant of the inverted prostheses when they are implanted using a superior approach and using an anterior approach.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Encore Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (RSP). The clinical results of the RSP will be compared to clinical results published in literature for rotator cuff arthropathy and salvage procedures.
