Study Summary

This trial will compare the long-term outcomes of two different approaches to total shoulder replacement surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 21 with arthritis needing shoulder replacement, who can survive at least 2 years post-surgery and commit to follow-up visits. It's not for those with prior shoulder replacements, brachial plexus injuries, inability to do long-term follow-ups, pregnant or lactating women, or significant shoulder deformities.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two surgical techniques for total shoulder replacement: the traditional subscapularis release (TSR) and a newer rotator cuff sparing method. It aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of each approach in patients randomized into two groups.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed here, typical risks may include pain at the surgery site, infection risk from surgery, possible damage to nearby nerves or blood vessels during operation, and complications related to anesthesia.
