New scan model could prevent shoulder surgery complications
NCT ID NCT07545707
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how stress on the shoulder bone (acromion) changes after reverse shoulder replacement surgery. Researchers will use CT and MRI scans from 13 patients to create computer models that show where bone stress is highest. The goal is to better understand and prevent bone fractures after surgery.
