New shoulder implant under real-world scrutiny: will it hold up?
NCT ID NCT07678034
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows adults who have received a Tipmed shoulder replacement to see how well the implant works and if any problems arise over the first year. Participants have conditions like severe arthritis, rotator cuff damage, or a broken shoulder bone. Researchers track shoulder function and any complications to confirm the device is safe and effective in routine care.

Who is studied
The study population comprises adult patients aged 18 years and older, of both sexes, who have undergone either reverse shoulder arthroplasty or shoulder hemiarthroplasty at the participating multi-center orthopedic clinics. The study population is stratified into two distinct clinical cohorts representing individuals whose surgical treatment involved the standard clinical implantation of the Tipmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System component options under specific anatomical configurations. Eligible individuals who are legally competent and provide written informed consent to allow their routine clinical findings to be documented for the study will be consecutively enrolled.
