Summary

This trial is investigating the development of shoulder OA.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults under 60 with shoulder osteoarthritis, specifically those showing more than 55% posterior humeral head subluxation on imaging. It's not suitable for individuals over 60, those with labral or rotator cuff issues, pre-existing joint deformities beyond grade I, neurological disorders of the upper limb, history of shoulder instability or trauma including fractures.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand the causes and progression of shoulder osteoarthritis by using low-dose CT scans, T1Rho MRI imaging techniques and motion analysis to observe changes in the joint over time.
What are the potential side effects?
While this study involves diagnostic tests rather than treatments, potential side effects may include discomfort during motion analysis and exposure to radiation from CT scans. The MRI procedure is generally safe but may cause claustrophobia or discomfort.
