Pyrocarbon Hemiarthroplasty Versus Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis

This is a multi-center study assessing postoperative outcomes associated with hemiarthroplasty with pyrocarbon (hPYC) versus anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). Once eligibility criteria is met, the subject will be randomized to one of the two study arms. Subjects will be followed for ten years. Clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) will be assessed.
