JOINTS Canada members are currently involved in the following clinical trials:
Humeral Resurfacing Hemiarthroplasty versus Conventional Stemmed Hemiarthroplasty: A Canadian multicentre randomized, controlled trial. Phase 1: Pilot feasibility study
A randomized evaluation of immobilization in external rotation in the management of acute anterior dislocations of the shoulder.
Arthroscopic versus mini-open repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears: A multicentre randomized clinical trial.
A randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of standard rotator cuff repair augmented with or
without porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) in patients with large rotator cuff tears.
Cemented versus uncemented fixation of humeral components in total shoulder arthroplasty for primary
osteoarthritis: A multicentre double blinded randomized clinical trial.
Electro-thermal arthroscopic capsulorrhaphy (ETAC) versus open inferior capsular shift in patients with shoulder instability: A multicentre randomized clinical
trial.
Effectiveness of subacromial decompression compared to subacromial bursectomy for rotator cuff tendinosis: A multicentre randomized clinical trial.
Open versus mini-open repair of rotator cuff tears: A multicentre randomized clinical trial.
Randomized anterior instability with Bankart repair (RAIB): the use of heat in addition to arthroscopic Bankart repair.
