About this trial

Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive either a cemented all-polyethylene pegged glenoid or a hybrid trabecular titanium-pegged glenoid during anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Multicentre, stratified block randomization with variable block sizes; patient- and assessor-blinded.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Both genders;

Age 18 years old;

Life expectancy over 5 years;

Patient has symptomatic shoulder osteoarthritis for more than 1 year and is submitted to previous conservative non-surgical treatments;

Disqualifiers

Patient requiring revision shoulder arthroplasty;

Osteoporosis with a history of non-traumatic fractures;

Steroid injections within the previous 6 months;

Contralateral shoulder replacement within the previous 3 months;

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with cemented all-polyethylene pegged glenoid

    Procedure/Surgery

    Stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (SMR system) with a cemented pegged all-polyethylene glenoid (standard fixation concept).

  • Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with hybrid trabecular titanium central-peg glenoid

    Procedure/Surgery

    Stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (SMR system) with a hybrid polyethylene glenoid: porous trabecular titanium central peg intended for bone ingrowth plus cemented peripheral pegs.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Constant-Murley Score (shoulder function)

Clinical shoulder function assessed with the Constant-Murley Score (absolute and age/sex-adjusted) comparing hybrid versus standard glenoid fixation after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. The Constant-Murley Score ranges from 0 to 100 points, with 0 indicating the worst outcome and 100 indicating the best shoulder function.

Time frame
Preoperatively, 3 months; 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years postoperatively.

Secondary outcomes

1

Shoulder range of motion

Active shoulder range of motion (e.g., forward flexion, abduction, external/internal rotation) assessed clinically to compare recovery between glenoid groups.

Time frame
Preoperatively, 3 months; 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years postoperatively.
2

Oxford Shoulder Score questionnaire

Patient-reported shoulder pain and function measured with the Oxford Shoulder Score, comparing both glenoid fixation concepts. The Oxford Shoulder Score ranges from 0 to 48 points, with higher scores indicating a better outcome / better shoulder function. This is inferred from the 12-item questionnaire with 5 response options per item shown in the uploaded form.

Time frame
Preoperatively; 3 months; 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years postoperatively.
3

Hospital Anxiety subscale questionnaire

Anxiety symptoms assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety subscale (HADS-D), a 7-item subscale of the full questionnaire. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale is generally interpreted per subscale rather than as a single total score. The Anxiety and Depression subscales are assessed separately, each ranging from 0 to 21 points, with higher scores indicating more symptoms and therefore a worse outcome.

Time frame
Preoperatively; 3 months; 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years postoperatively.
4

Hospital Depression subscale questionnaire

Depressive symptoms assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Depression subscale (HADS-D), a 7-item subscale of the full questionnaire. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale is generally interpreted per subscale rather than as a single total score. The Anxiety and Depression subscales are assessed separately, each ranging from 0 to 21 points, with higher scores indicating more symptoms and therefore a worse outcome.

Time frame
Preoperatively; 3 months; 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years postoperatively.

Other outcomes

1

Number of implant-related complications

Number of implant-related complications recorded from surgery through 10 years postoperatively.

Time frame
From surgery through 10 years postoperatively.
2

Number of non-implant-related complications

Number of non-implant-related complications recorded from surgery through 10 years postoperatively.

Time frame
From surgery through 10 years postoperatively.
3

Number of implant-related adverse events

Number of implant-related adverse events recorded from surgery through 10 years postoperatively.

Time frame
From surgery through 10 years postoperatively.
4

Number of non-implant-related adverse events

Number of non-implant-related adverse events recorded from surgery through 10 years postoperatively.

Time frame
From surgery through 10 years postoperatively.
