Comparison Between Exactech Guided Personalized Surgery (GPS) and Conventional Instrumentation of Shoulder Arthroplasty

February 26, 2025 updated by: Exactech

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Clinical Study of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Comparing Exactech Guided Personalized Surgery (GPS) vs. Conventional Instrumentation

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.

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

21 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who meet eligibility criteria - Patients who consent to participate to return for follow-up visits out to 10 years

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is at least 21 years of age at the time of surgery
  • Patient is indicated for reverse shoulder arthroplasty
  • Patient is willing to participate by complying with pre- and postoperative visit requirements
  • Patient is willing to participate for the entire length of the prescribed follow-up (minimum 2 years)
  • Patient is willing and able to review and sign a study informed consent form
  • Preop CT scan is within 3 months of the date of surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Revision shoulder arthroplasty
  • Reverse shoulder arthroplasty for fracture

  • Osteomyelitis of the proximal humerus or scapula; if a systemic infection or a secondary remote infection is suspected or confirmed, implantation should be delayed until infection is resolved
  • Inadequate or malformed bone that precludes adequate support or fixation of the prosthesis
  • Neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the joint
  • Significant injury to the brachial plexus
  • Non-functional deltoid muscles
  • The patient is unwilling or unable to comply with the post-operative care instructions
  • Patients who are a known drug or alcohol abuser, or have a psychological disorder (e.g. schizophrenia major depression, bipolar disorder, etc.) as defined by the DSM4 that affect follow-up care or treatment outcomes.
  • Alcohol, drug, or other subtance abuse
  • Any disease state that could adversaly affect the function or longevity of the implant
  • Patient is pregnant
  • Patient is a prisoner
  • Patient who are currently involved in any personal injury litigation, medical-legal or worker's compensation claims

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
Constant
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
Constant Shoulder Score - 100 points scale about pain, Activities of daily living, Strength test, and Range of Motions questions about shoulder where 100 % corresponds to the highest pain
Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
ASES
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES) - 100 points scale about shoulder pain and performance evaluation in activities of daily living where 100 indicates the best shoulder condition
Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
SST-12
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
Shoulder Simple Test (SST) - 12 questions with yes/no responses that measure shoulder pain and function from a patient's perspective - 12 yes corresponds to 100%
Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
SPADI
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) -13 questions assessing about pain scale (5 questions) and disability scale (8 questions) where 0 indicates no pain/no difficulty and 10 indicates worst pain imaginable/so difficult it requires help while performin these activities
Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
UCLA
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 per year
University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLA) - 5 Items score which combines both physician (3 items) and patient assessment (2 items) whith a total range from 0-35 where 0 indicates worse shoulder function and 35 better shoulder function outcomes
Through study completion, an average of 1 per year

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.
