What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved

Summary

This study is testing a new surgical technique for total shoulder replacement that does not cut any muscles or tendons. Researchers want to see if this approach improves pain, strength, and motion in people with shoulder arthritis. About 50 patients will be followed after surgery to measure outcomes like function and implant accuracy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Subscapularis-sparing total shoulder arthroplasty (a surgical procedure that avoids cutting muscles or tendons)
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could offer a less invasive shoulder replacement with faster recovery and better long-term shoulder function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery still carries standard risks like infection or implant failure.
