New modular shoulder implant aims to improve outcomes in tough revision surgeries
NCT ID NCT03270982
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new modular shoulder replacement system in 105 people who need complex revision surgery due to joint disease, trauma, or cancer. The device can replace part or all of the upper arm bone. Researchers are tracking how long the implant lasts and how well patients can use their arm afterward.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Comprehensive Segmental Revision System (a modular shoulder replacement device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could provide a more durable and functional option for people needing complex shoulder revision surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 105 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Device failure or complications like infection are possible risks.
