Summary

This trial will compare two shoulder surgery options for patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 65 with severe shoulder osteoarthritis who haven't improved after 6 months of non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy and painkillers. It's not for those with a life expectancy under a year, high surgery risk, psychiatric conditions affecting consent, pregnancy, or previous shoulder surgeries on the affected side.
What is being tested?
The study is comparing two types of shoulder replacement surgeries: Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these surgical options to see which is better for treating advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis in seniors.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from both TSA and RSA may include pain at the surgery site, swelling, stiffness in the shoulder joint, infection risks post-operation, complications related to anesthesia during surgery, and potential need for future corrective surgeries.
