Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty PMCF Study

This is a multicenter, prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty systems in primary anatomic shoulder arthroplasty and its instrumentation. Safety of the systems will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events. The performance and clinical benefits will be evaluated by assessment of the overall pain and functional performance, qualify of life, and radiographic parameters of all enrolled study subjects.

Prospective Comparative Multicenter Study of the Care Pathway After Shoulder Surgery

Post-operative management of shoulder surgery patients, particularly in terms of pain management and follow-up, can vary from one center to another, influencing clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to compare two approaches to post-operative follow-up in two distinct centers: structured follow-up using the Vivalto-Dom protocol in Paris, and autonomous follow-up through contact with a nurse in Saint-Grégoire. The hypothesis is that these differences in the care pathway will affect pain management, comfort and patient satisfaction. By controlling for operative variability (a single surgeon operating in both centers), the study will identify the most effective follow-up practices for improving post-operative management, with the ultimate aim of optimizing quality of care and reducing post-operative complications.

Efficacy of Nerve Blockade Performed Prior to Surgical Intervention Versus Following Surgical Intervention

Nerve blocks, or pain medication injected next to the nerve while patients are asleep, are commonly used for pain management after shoulder surgery and are considered highly effective in decreasing post-operative pain. There are several different ways to give a nerve block. All are effective and safe. The purpose of this research is to determine if one of the available ways to give a nerve block is more effective than the others.
