The primary goal of the clinical trial is to determine that the GLOBAL ICON implant system from DePuy does not exhibit worse shoulder function after 2 years than the SIMPLICITY from Wright Medical. The primary endpoint is the Constant-Murley Shoulder Score (CMSS) of the implant after 2 years, the non-inferiority of which is to be demonstrated in comparison with an already established prosthetic system (SIMPLICITY, Wright Medical).
Trial participants need primary total shoulder replacement due to primary osteoarthritis or post-traumatic osteoarthritis
Trial participants are willing to take part in the clinical trial and intend to be available for the planned follow-up examinations.
Male, female and various subjects with age on the day of surgery from 18 to 80 years inclusive.
Subjects agree not to participate in any other clinical trial for at least 2 years (+ 3 weeks) using the index procedure. This includes clinical trials of medication, invasive procedures and medical devices. Questionnaire-based studies or other studies that are non-invasive and do not involve drug use are allowed.
