Early migration of stemless and stemmed humeral components after total shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis-study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glenohumeral osteoarthritis can, in the most severe cases, require surgery with insertion of a shoulder arthroplasty. A design with a stem in the humeral bone canal is currently regarded as the standard treatment option in patients who have an intact rotator cuff function, but complications related to the stem including humeral fractures can have devastating consequences. By using a stemless humeral component, stem-related complications can be reduced. The aim of this study is to compare the Comprehensive Nano stemless total shoulder arthroplasty (intervention group) with the Comprehensive stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty (control group).

Materials and methods

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the stemless and the stemmed total shoulder arthroplas
