Study summary

Prospective Multi-Center Registry on study subjects with implanted devices marketed and legally commercialized in the USA by FX Shoulder Solutions.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate patient outcomes following shoulder replacement with FX Shoulder Solutions medical devices and 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.

A patient is considered a success at minimum of 2 years post-operative follow-up based upon the following composite clinical success (CCS):

  • Adjusted Constant Score that is ≥ 54 and improvement of ≥ 10 points from baseline
  • No continuous radiolucency or device migration/subsidence
  • No revision surgery
  • No serious device related adverse event

The Registry will continue to follow patients to 10 years post-operative to track survivorship.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. A patient is considered a success at post-operative follow-up based upon the following composite clinical success (CCS):

    Adjusted Constant Score that is ≥ 54 and improvement of ≥ 10 points from baseline. No continuous radiolucency or device migration/subsidence No revision surgery No serious device related adverse event.

    Time frame: 2 years

  2. Survivorship

    Follow patient's post-operative to track survivorship.

    Time frame: 10 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adjusted Constant Score

    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.

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

  2. QuickDASH

    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.

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

  3. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES)

    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

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months

  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: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months

  5. Range of Motion (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.

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months

  6. Secondary Surgical Interventions (SSI)

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

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 years postoperative

  7. Serious Adverse Event

    1. Led to a death. 2. Resulted in life threatening illness or injury. 3. Resulted in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Resulted in patient disability or permanent damage or required intervention to prevent permanent impairment/damage. 5. Led to a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 years postoperative

  8. Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADE)

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

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 years postoperative.

  9. Radiographic Reviews and Assessments.

    Monitor implant integrity and signs of implant loosening.

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 years postoperative.

  10. Survival

    Subject disposition.

    Time frame: 24 months and at 5 years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2031, 128 months after the start.

Of 30 observational studies under Shoulder Fractures, half reached primary completion within 83 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 37 and three quarters within 109. This study's planned 128 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 9, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
