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

DiscussionTo our knowledge, RSA has never been used to access migration of a stemmed or a stemless humeral component nor has the stemmed and the stemless humeral component been compared with regard to pain relief and shoulder function in a randomized clinical trial. Today, the two designs are considered equal in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The study will provide surgeons and patients with information about shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and assist them in decision-making.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.govNCT04105478.
