Official title
A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Clinical Study of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Comparing Exactech Guided Personalized Surgery (GPS) vs. Conventional Instrumentation
Overview
The primary objective of this study is to examine the optimization of Reverse Shouder Arthroplasty implant position between GPS and conventional techniques. The secondary objective is to assess the effect of implant position using GPS vs. conventional techniques on ROM and patient reported outcomes. Long-term follow-up to 10 years with minimum 2 year follow-up for patients.
Primary outcome measures
- SST-12 [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year]
- SPADI [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year]
- Constant [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year]
- ASES [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year]
- UCLA [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year]
