Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Use of patient-specific, image-derived instrumentation for glenoid prosthesis positioning in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Custom, 3D-printed jigs are produced from Computed Tomography (CT) imaging of the participant's affected shoulder, through digital planning technology (Materialise NV). Patient undergoes a CT, Materialise produce a planned template for the implant positioning for which the surgeon approves. Jigs are manufactured through 3D printing and provided for the day of surgery. These jigs are then used intra-operatively by consultant surgeons to aid proper positioning of the component. Participants are recruited from those undergoing shoulder arthroplasty under the care of the investigating surgeons. Verification of implant positioning will be performed by the patient undergoing a Postoperative CT at 6 weeks after surgery.
Intervention code [1] 299078 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
Control treatment is the use of standard instrumentation routinely used by orthopaedic surgeons for positioning the glenoid prosthesis.
Standard Instrumentation is not individually manufactured according to the patients anatomy.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303318 0
Accuracy of placement of glenoid positioning will be assessed by comparing the version, inclination and translation measured on post-operartive CT with the pre-operative plans.

Statistical methods / analysis
Power analysis was conducted utilising the results of prior, similar studies. Type 1 error of 0.05 & Type II error of 0.2 would require 22 participants in each of the two study arms (intervention + comparator) to observe correlation. To allow for an estimated 10% loss to follow-up, 25 patients will be recruited to each arm, giving a total number of 50 participants.
Statistical analysis will be carried out using SPSS software.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of the glenoid placement with use of patient specific, image-derived instrumentation to that of standard instrumentation in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
There will be two study groups: Group 1 (n=25), Conventional surgical technique (without guides)
Group 2 (n=25), Patient specific, use of image derived instrumentation guides.
The null hypothesis for this study is that the use of patient specific guides for the glenoid component positioning will make no difference in the accuracy of component placement.
A total of 50 patients will be recruited for the study.
Sites for the study include Townsville Hospital and Health Services and Mater Health Services North Queensland Ltd.
