Patient-reported outcome after stemmed versus stemless total shoulder arthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis: a patient-blinded randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stemless shoulder arthroplasty systems with uncemented metaphyseal fixation have been used for glenohumeral osteoarthritis since 2004 (Hawi, et al. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 17:376, 2016). The stemless design has several theoretical advantages compared with the stemmed shoulder arthroplasty systems: restoring patients' anatomy; preserving humeral bone stock; and few complications in component removal if the need for a revision arthroplasty arises. The purpose of the study is to compare the short-term, patient-reported outcome of stemless and stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

Materials and methods

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. Eighty patients with clinical and radiological signs of primary or post-traumatic glenohumeral osteoarthritis, comp
