Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Tıpmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Tipmed™ Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis System: Prospective clinical follow-up and observational data collection for adult patients who have already undergone reverse shoulder arthroplasty using the CE-marked Tipmed™ Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis System in routine clinical practice. Since participants are enrolled postoperatively, the intervention does not involve any experimental surgical assignment. No investigational or nonroutine interventions are performed as part of this observational registry. The tracked device components include a combination of humeral stems available in various dimensional configurations, humeral trays, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) humeral cups, glenospheres, and porous + hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated baseplates with locking or non-locking fixation screws, which were tailored intraoperatively during the index surgery according to the participant's specific shoulder anatomy and bone quality.

Tipmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System (Hemiarthroplasty Configuration): Prospective clinical follow-up and observational data collection for adult patients who have already undergone shoulder hemiarthroplasty surgery utilizing specific components of the CE-marked Tipmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System in routine clinical practice. Since participants are enrolled postoperatively, this observational study does not involve any active or experimental surgical intervention assigned by the protocol. No investigational or nonroutine procedures are performed as part of this study. The tracked intervention evaluates the post-surgical performance of the explicitly isolated replacement of the humeral head interacting with the patient's natural glenoid fossa. Observational data tracking focuses on the implanted configuration consisting of a modular humeral stem paired with a modular humeral head connected via a tapered conical assembly, which were selected and tailored intraoperatively during the prior surgery based on patient-specific anatomical requirements.

Study summary

This study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, observational post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tipmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System at 12 months postoperatively. The study population includes adult patients who undergo reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) or shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) using the Tipmed™ implant systems due to various clinical indications such as osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, or proximal humerus fractures. The main objective is to gather real-world clinical evidence on the 12-month post-operative safety profile, potential complications, and functional outcomes of the device during routine clinical practice.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Functional Capacity Assessment via Modified Constant-Murley Score (MCMS) — 12 months postoperatively
  The proportion of participants achieving "excellent" (90-100 points) or "good" (80-89 points) functional outcomes based on the total MCMS score. The MCMS evaluates shoulder function across four domains: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), active range of motion (40 points), and strength (25 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better functional capacity and superior clinical outcomes.
• Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) — Up to 12 months postoperatively
  Continuous monitoring, documentation, and cumulative tracking of the incidence of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring throughout the study period, regardless of their causal relationship to the investigational medical device or surgical procedure. Events will be systematically classified by severity (mild, moderate, severe), outcome, and causality pattern.
• Incidence of Clinical Complications — Up to 12 months postoperatively
  Evaluation of the rate, frequency, and types of all clinical complications recorded throughout the 12-month study period. This assessment includes intraoperative complications captured retrospectively from surgical medical records (such as humeral or glenoid fractures, vascular injuries, and nerve lesions) as well as longitudinal complications documented prospectively during the postoperative follow-up phase (such as joint dislocation, component loosening, implant breakage, scapular notching, osteolysis, or deep and superficial surgical site infections) associated with the routine clinical utilization of the Tipmed™ Shoulder Prosthesis System.
