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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with cemented all-polyethylene pegged glenoid
Procedure/SurgeryStemless 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/SurgeryStemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (SMR system) with a hybrid polyethylene glenoid: porous trabecular titanium central peg intended for bone ingrowth plus cemented peripheral pegs.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
Other outcomes
Number of implant-related complications
Number of implant-related complications recorded from surgery through 10 years postoperatively.
Number of non-implant-related complications
