Anatomical Shoulder Domelock System Study

March 20, 2026 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Anatomical Shoulder™ Domelock System A Multicenter, Prospective and Retrospective, Non-Controlled Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Study

The objectives of this study are to confirm safety and performance of the Anatomical Shoulder Domelock System when used in hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is a multicenter, prospective and retrospective, non-controlled PMCF study involving orthopaedic surgeons skilled in hemi and total shoulder arthroplasty procedures. A minimum of six study centers will be involved and a total number of 73 implants will be included into the study.

Study Type

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients suffering from severe shoulder pain and disability indicated for implantation of the Anatomical Shoulder Domelock System in hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty and who meet all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is 18-80 years of age, inclusive
  • Patient is skeletally mature
  • Patient is suffering from severe shoulder pain and disability requiring unilateral or bilateral HSA or TSA based on physical exam and medical history
  • Patient has failed conservative treatment

  • Patient meets at least one of the following indications:

    • Advanced wear and tear of the shoulder joint resulting from degenerative, posttraumatic or rheumatoid arthritis if bone stock is adequate.
    • Avascular necrosis
    • Conditions consequent to earlier operations
    • Optional use in revision: in some medical conditions (e.g., early revision when adequate bone stock exists), the surgeon may opt to use primary implants in a revision procedure.

Additional criteria for retrospective patients:

  • patient has been implanted with the Domelock system before site initiation visit.
  • information available must include at minimum demographic information, the operative report and details of the device implanted.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is unwilling or unable to give consent or to comply with the follow-up program
  • Patients who have any condition which would in the judgement of the Investigator place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study. Any patient who is institutionalized, or is a known drug abuser, a known alcoholic or anyone who cannot understand what is required of them
  • Patient is known to be pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Patient meets at least one of the contraindications:

    • Patient's physical conditions that would impair adequate implant support and/or prevent the use of an appropriately sized implant, e.g., previous surgery, insufficient quality or quantity of bone, neuromuscular compromise or vascular deficiency in the affected limb in sufficient degree to endanger the success of the intervention e.g., absence of musculoligamentous supporting structures, joint neuropathy or other conditions that may lead to inadequate skeletal fixation
    • Signs of infection
    • Severe instability secondary to advanced loss of osteochondral structure
    • Charcot's shoulder (neuroarthropathy)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Implant Survivorship
Time Frame: 10 Years
The primary endpoint of this study is defined by the survival of the implant at 10 years which is based on removal or intended removal of the prosthesis and will be determined using Kaplan Meier method.
10 Years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Performance
Time Frame: 5 Years

The secondary endpoint is defined by the performance of the Anatomical Shoulder Domelock System at 5 years, which is assessed by the Constant and Murley score.

The Constant and Murley score is a 100-point functional shoulder assessment tool in which higher scores reflect increased function. The subjective variables are pain (15 points) and function (activities of daily living - sleep, work, recreation/sport; 20 points), for a total of 35 points. The objective variables are active range of motion (clinician assessment; 40 points) and strength (25 points), for a total of 65 points.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
