About this trial
This is a multicenter, prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty systems in primary anatomic shoulder arthroplasty and its instrumentation. Safety of the systems will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events. The performance and clinical benefits will be evaluated by assessment of the overall pain and functional performance, qualify of life, and radiographic parameters of all enrolled study subjects.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patient must be 20 years of age or older.
Patient must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive shoulder arthroplasty implants.
Patient must be able and willing to complete the protocol required follow-up.
Patient must be able and willing to sign the IRB/EC approved informed consent.
Disqualifiers
Patient is unwilling or unable to give consent or to comply with the follow-up program.
Patient has any condition which would in the judgement of the Investigator, place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study.
Patient is known to be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Patient is a vulnerable subject (prisoner, mentally incompetent or unable to understand what participation to the study entails, a known alcohol or drug abuser, and/or anticipated to be non- compliant).
Trial population
The Alliance Glenoid is intended to be used as part of an anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty to reduce shoulder pain an improve shoulder function. The Alliance Glenoid is intended to be used as a component of a total shoulder replacement system for primary arthroplasty. It provides the surface on the glenoid side that articulates with the modular head component and stem component on the humeral side. Patients must meet all inclusion and none on the exclusion criteria.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES)
The primary endpoint for this study will be performance assessed by improvement in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score from baseline to 2 years (as evaluated using the overall cohort mean showing at least the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 6.4 points). Pain, function, and activities of daily living are measured. The ASES scale is 0-100. 100 is the highest score and indicates the greatest function while 0 is the lowest score.
Secondary outcomes
Frequency and Incidence of Adverse Events (Safety)
Monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse device effects, serious adverse device effects, and unanticipated serious adverse device effects as well as device deficiencies.
Euroqol Patient Quality of life (EQ-5D-5L)
The EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) is a five dimensional self-assessment that is comprised of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. These five dimensions can be used to index a subject's health utility on a scale of 0 to 1, where 0 is death and 1 is perfect health. The scoring rule for EQ-5D permits scores less than 0, implying that some health states may be worse than death.
Radiographic Performance
X-Rays will be evaluated for radiolucency, osteolysis, osteophytes, component migration, subsidence and heterotopic ossification.
