View original scientific description

2:1 Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Center, Prospective, Pre-Market Study of the INHANCE Stemless Reverse Cementless Total Shoulder.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Individuals requiring reverse total shoulder replacement for a severely painful, disabling, arthritic joint (i.e. osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and rotator cuff arthropathy).
  • Individuals who are anatomically and structurally suited to receive the implants and have a functional deltoid muscle.
  • Individuals who are able to read and comprehend the informed patient consent document and are willing and able to provide informed patient consent for participation in the study and have authorized the transfer of their information to DePuy Synthes.
  • Individuals who are willing and able to return for follow-up as specified by the study protocol.
  • Individuals who are a minimum age of 22 years at the time of consent.
  • Individuals who are willing and able to complete the Patient Reported Outcome Measure questionnaires (PROMs) as specified by the study protocol.

Exclusion criteria

  • BMI \> 40 kg/m2
  • Individuals have active, uncontrolled local infection or systemic infection.
  • Patients who have not reached skeletal maturity, regardless of age.
  • Either preoperatively or intraoperatively and per standard of care medical assessment, bone stock in the proximal humerus or glenoid fossa is determined to be inadequate for supporting the INHANCE humeral stemless components (NOTE: exclusion applies to both arms of the study, i.e., bone stock to be evaluated independent of randomized treatment assignment).
  • Intraoperatively and per treating physician's assessment of bone quality, bone is determined to be too soft or porous to support the implant or that is too hard or brittle to allow for proper bone preparation and fixation, i.e. osteoporosis or sclerotic bone, or tumor(s) of the supporting bone structure, where there could be considerable migration of the prosthesis and/or a chance of fracture of the humerus or glenoid.
  • Fractures of the proximal humerus that could compromise the fixation of the INHANCE reverse humeral stemless components.
  • Patients who have undergone previous treatment on the study shoulder that may compromise fixation of the INHANCE reverse humeral stemless component.
  • Revision of a failed hemi, total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
  • Patient is receiving, or is scheduled to receive, treatment that the Investigator considers could affect bone quality, such as chemotherapy or high dose corticosteroids.
  • Individuals who are bedridden per the Investigator's determination.
  • Individuals that have participated in a clinical investigation with an investigational product (drug or device) in the last three months.
  • Individuals currently involved in any personal injury litigation, medical-legal or worker's compensation claims.
  • Individuals, in the opinion of the Investigator, who are drug or alcohol abusers or have psychological disorders that could affect their ability to complete patient reported questionnaires or be compliant with follow-up requirements.
  • Patients with a known medical condition that the Investigator believes would impact the study outcomes (including, but not limited to osteomyelitis, Paget's disease, neuropathies such as Charcot's disease, metastatic or neoplastic disorders).
  • Patient has a medical condition with less than 2 years life expectancy.
  • Patients who are known to be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Known polyethylene and/or metal sensitivity or allergy.
  • Contralateral side has been enrolled in the study or has received a total shoulder operation within the last 6 months
  • Otherwise determined by the investigator to be medically unsuitable for participation in this study
  • Patient is a member of a vulnerable population (i.e., incarcerated individuals - those incarcerated for at least one month and considered to be an inmate)

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
