Summary

This study followed 152 people who received the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder implant for severe shoulder pain and disability due to arthritis or other joint diseases. The implant is designed to replace the shoulder joint without a long stem, potentially preserving more bone. Researchers measured pain, function, quality of life, and implant survival to confirm the device's safety and performance.
