Study Population

Patients requiring Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (anatomic/reverse) and who are suitable to receive Medacta Shoulder System will be proposed to take part to the current post-market surveillance study during their pre-operative visit.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients older than 18 years
  • Patient with one of the following diagnosis:

    1. Primary osteoarthritis
    2. Secondary osteoarthritis
    3. Cuff tear arthropathy; insufficient rotator cuff
    4. Acute fracture (<21d)
    5. Rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis
    6. Avascular necrosis
    7. Other posttraumatic condition
    8. Revision of shoulder arthroplasty

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with malignant diseases (at the time of surgery)
  • Patients with proven or suspect infections (at the time of surgery)
  • Patients with functional deficits other than dysfunction of the shoulder (at the time of surgery)

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Survival rate
Time Frame: 5 years
Kaplan Meier method
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical outcome; Constant and Murley score
Time Frame: 1, 2, and 5 years
Constant & Murley Score: Its score ranges from 0 to 100 points, representing worst and best shoulder function, respectively. The pain experienced during normal activities of daily living was scored as: no pain = 15 points, mild = 10, moderate = 5 and severe = 0 points.
1, 2, and 5 years
Functional outcome: Oxford Shoulder Score
Time Frame: 1, 2, and 5 years
Oxford Shoulder Score: It contains 12 items, each with 5 potential answers. A mark between 1 (best/fewest symptoms) and 5 (worst/most severe) is awarded to correspond to the patient's symptoms. The combined total gives a minimum score of 12 and a maximum of 60. A higher score implies a greater degree of disability
1, 2, and 5 years
Radiographic performance of the implants: Presence of radiolucencies
Time Frame: 3 months, 1, 2, and 5 years
Presence of radiolucencies
3 months, 1, 2, and 5 years
Quality of life assesed by EQ-5D-5L score
Time Frame: 1, 2, and 5 years

EQ-5D-5L score: The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.

The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.

Number of Intraoperative and postoperative Adverse events
Time Frame: intraop, 3 months, 1, 2, and 5 years
Intraoperative and postoperative adverse events
intraop, 3 months, 1, 2, and 5 years
