About this study

To evaluate patient outcomes following shoulder replacement with FX Shoulder Solutions medical devices To demonstrate effectiveness, safety and survivorship of FX Shoulder Solutions medical devices To provide data and analysis to FX Shoulder Solutions to meet regulatory requirements.

To provide data and analysis for presentations, abstracts, publications and other public release of results.

Clinical data in the Investigator's clinic notes and patient files regarding demographics, baseline medical and shoulder status, surgical procedure and implant components, and any completed postoperative clinical data will be collected retrospectively as data for the Study following signed patient consent and enrollment into the study.

Each patient will be evaluated prospectively, and clinical data collected at the first baseline clinical evaluation using the protocol specified evaluations following study enrollment with successive postoperative evaluations in accordance with the postoperative intervals.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Received an FX Shoulder Solutions replacement medical device in accordance with the Indications for Use based upon surgeons' determination and standard of care for the selected device system beginning January 1, 2018, through June 30, 2023.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient who does not meet the inclusion criteria above

Treatment and study plan

FX Artificial Shoulder Prosthesis

Device

Humelock II Anatomic Shoulder System, Humelock II Reversible Shoulder System, Humelock Reverse Shoulder System, Humeris Shoulder System, Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System, PRCT II Fracture Plate, V-135

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who are at a minimum of 2 years postoperative follow-up based upon the following composite clinical success (CCS) of the Patient Reported Outcome Surveys and Investigator Range of Motion (ROM) assessments.

    Time frame: 10 years

    • Adjusted Constant Score > 70
    • No continuous radiolucency or device migration/subsidence
    • No revision surgery or removal
    • No serious device related adverse event

    The Study will continue to follow patients prospectively to 10 years postoperative to track survivorship.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adjusted Constant Score

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months, 5 and 10 years.

    The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a validated 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient. The test is divided into four subscales: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion (40 points) with the subject completing the assessment prior to the Investigator completing their part of the assessment. The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function.

    An Adjusted Constant score will be calculated using normalized values to account for age and gender, as based upon anatomical gender at birth.

  2. QuickDASH

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months, 5 and 10 years.

    QuickDASH measures an individual's ability to complete tasks, absorb forces, and severity of symptoms. The QuickDASH tool uses a 5-point Likert scale from which the patient can select an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity level/ function level. The higher the score, the higher the function and lower pain in the patient.

  3. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES)

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months, 5 and 10 years.

    ASES is a validated patient-reported outcome which is composed of 10 functional questions and one pain VAS. The total score is of 100 maximum points and weighted evenly between pain and function

  4. Visual Analog Scale (VAS). A validated measurement of pain in a patient where 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates severe pain. The VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length.

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months, 5 and 10 years

    A validated measurement of pain in a patient where 0 indicates no pain and 100 indicates severe pain. The VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length.

  5. Range of Motion

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months, 5 and 10 years.

    ROM - The patient performs active movements in all functional planes for the shoulder.

    Includes flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and internal and external rotation. Investigator estimates the range of movement and compares the affected with the unaffected shoulder and the normal expected range.

  6. Number of Participants Who Have a Secondary Surgical Intervention (SSI)

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 and 10 years

    SSI's are re-operations, revisions, and removals.

  7. Device Related Adverse Events.

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 and 10 years postoperative

    An adverse event that is related to the use of a device.

  8. Serious Adverse Event

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 and 10 years postoperative

    • Led to a death,
    • Resulted in life threatening illness or injury*
    • Resulted in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
    • Resulted in patient disability or permanent damage or required intervention to prevent permanent impairment/damage
    • Led to a congenital abnormality or birth defect
  9. Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADE)

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 and 10 years postoperative.

    Adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of a serious adverse event.

  10. Number of Participants with Radiographic Reviews and Assessments.

    Time frame: 24 months, at 5 years and 10 years postoperative

    Monitor implant integrity and signs of implant loosening

Other outcomes

  1. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint

    Time frame: 24 months

    The primary safety endpoint is the occurrence of any serious, device-related adverse event through 24 months of follow-up defined as an onset date before or on 730 days following the index surgery. For the primary endpoint, device-related will be defined as definite, probable, or possible relationship to the device.
