Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparing Two Surgical Methods of Fixation of Subscapularis During Shoulder Arthroplasty (NCT NCT00508105)

NCT ID: NCT00508105

Last Updated: 2020-05-05

Results Overview

Subscapularis muscle strength will be measured with an electronic handheld dynamometer. Patients are asked to press the dynamometer in towards their chest (belly-press) for a period of approximately 3 seconds before releasing. Strength is measured in kilograms of force.

Subscapularis Peel
Detachment of the subscapularis tendon from its insertion on the lesser tuberosity "the peel".
Osteotomy
osteotomy: This group will use a technique that involves elevation of the tendon with a wafer of bone in order to gain access to the shoulder.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 Years

The Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index (WOOS) is a disease specific evaluation, proven to be an accurate and valid assessment of function after shoulder replacement. The WOOS is a patient-reported measure, 19-question survey. Each question is measured using a visual analog scale rated from 0-100, where higher scores mean better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 Years

The ASES is a shoulder specific assessment divided into two sections: pain and activities of daily living (ADL). Pain is recorded on a visual analogue scale (0-10), lower scores indicate better outcomes. There are 10 activities of daily living questions, each are recorded on a 4 level likert scale (0-3), which a higher score indicates a better outcome. The overall score is an equal weight of the two sections and produces a score out of 100. The higher the score, the better the outcome.
