What this Trial Is About
Total joint replacements, including total shoulder arthroplasty, have been highly successful in helping millions maintain mobility and reduce pain. This research aims to gather long-term data on patients receiving shoulder replacements at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to better understand outcomes, failure causes, and factors predicting success over time. The study focuses on evaluating clinical and economic results through a prospective observational design. Participants include adults aged 18 and older undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty at HSS. This observational study does not involve experimental treatments but follows patients systematically over years. Data collected include patient-reported outcome measures, demographic details, and surgical information at multiple time points including baseline, surgery day, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years. Throughout the study, participants will complete questionnaires and provide information at scheduled intervals to monitor their recovery and shoulder function. Researchers will use these reports and surgical data to assess outcomes and track changes over a decade. This approach allows ongoing evaluation of patient health and the long-term success of total shoulder replacements performed at HSS.
