Brief summary

The objective of this multi-center study is to collect medium and long-term data on the related clinical complications and functional outcomes of the Pyrocarbon Humeral Head to demonstrate safety and performance, in subjects from the Pyrocarbon IDE Study cohort. Data collected from this study will support post-market surveillance and MDR requirements as well provide the basis for peer-reviewed publications on mid- and long-term product performance and safety (five to ten years post-op).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline to last follow-up visit in ASES scoresFollow-up visits through 10 years Post-OpASES Score = American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score, 11 items with total score reported out of 100 measuring pain and activity of patient's evaluated shoulder where lower scores indicate more pain and less function

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline to last follow-up visit in Constant Murley scoresFollow-up visits through 10 years Post-OpCombination of physician-completed and patient-reported portions to assess functional state of shoulder including range of motion; total score reported out of 100 measuring where lower scores indicate less function of the evaluated shoulder
Change from Baseline to last follow-up visit in SANE scoresFollow-up visits through 10 years Post-OpSANE = Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation; 1 item assessment of shoulder rating 0% to 100%
Change from Baseline to last follow-up visit in Subject Satisfaction scoresFollow-up visits through 10 years Post-OpSingle, subjective question measuring patient satisfaction; assessed by improved, worsened, or no change in satisfaction
Change from Baseline to last follow-up visit in EQ-5D scoresFollow-up visits through 10 years Post-OpThe EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) questionnaire is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of quality of life. It is cognitively simple, takes only a few minutes to complete, and provides a simple descriptive profile as well as a single index value for quality of life that can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care. The EQ-5D consists of a descriptive system which comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), and a visual analog scale which measures the respondent's self-rated health on a 0-100 scale.
