Comprehensive Nano - Post Market Clinical Follow-Up Study

April 20, 2026 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Comprehensive Nano Post Market Data Collection

This data collection project is intended to provide clinical outcomes data to engineering, marketing as well as fulfill the post market surveillance requirements of various regulatory authorities. The study will be a prospective and one-arm.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The Comprehensive® Shoulder System with Nano humeral component is a humeral prosthesis system intended for use in total or hemi shoulder arthroplasty surgery. Total shoulder arthroplasty consists of replacement of the humeral head and glenoid. Hemi-arthroplasty consists of replacement of only the humeral head.

This project is a prospective study including one-hundred and fifty (150) anatomic and hemi cases and 44 reverse shoulders collected from up to ten (10) sites. All potential study subjects will be required to participate in the Informed Consent process.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Survivorship
Time Frame: 10 years
Kaplan Meier method
10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ASES Score (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons)
Time Frame: 10 years
Improvement in this score from preop to 10 year follow-up. This score includes 2 scales: 1 scale for pain, from 0 to 10 where 0 stands for "no pain at all" and 10 for "pain as bad as it can be". The second scale is for the stability of the shoulder, from 0 to 10 (0 stands for "very stable" and 10 for "very unstable").
10 years
SANE Score (Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation)
Time Frame: 10 years
Improvement in this score from preop to 10 year follow-up. This is a simple, single-question, patient-based shoulder function assessment tool: "How would you rate your shoulder today as a percentage of normal (0% to 100% scale with 100% being normal)?"
10 years
Constant-Murley Score
Time Frame: 10 years
Improvement in this score from preop to 10 year follow-up. This is a 100-point score. Higher scores indicate a better outcome.
10 years
X-rays evaluated for radiolucencies, osteolysis, migration and subsidence
Time Frame: 10 years
Standard evaluation performed on both humeral and glenoid components
10 years
