Study Stopped
The study was terminated because of concerns about subject attrition between the 5- and 10-year visits. A nested PMCF study at 10 years was proposed to the regulatory body and it was agreed this was an acceptable approach

Brief Summary
This is a Post Market Clinical Follow Up (PMCF) study to monitor the safety and performance of the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral component. The data gathered will be used to support post market surveillance of the device, and may potentially be used for additional market access purposes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Percentage of Participants With Overall Composite Clinical Success
Percentage of participants with overall composite clinical success at 24 months was reported. Composite success was achieved if each of the following criteria was met: (1) Radiographs indicated that there was no continuous radiolucent line (RLL) around the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral component, with continuous RLL defined as a radiolucent line greater than (\>) 1millimeter (mm) in all five zones of either anterior-posterior (AP) or Axillary views (2) The adjusted Constant-Murley score was greater than 85, with the adjustment based on the method of Constant (3) No GLOBAL ICON humeral component was removed for any reason (4) There was no device-related serious adverse events.
At 24 months
Adjusted Constant-Murley Shoulder Assessment Score
Constant-Murley Score on operative shoulder adjusted for gender and age. Please note that scores are adjusted to reflect gender and age of participants. The Constant-Murley score is divided into four subscales, including pain (15 points maximum), activities of daily living (20 points maximum), ROM (40 points maximum), and strength (25 points maximum). The higher the score, the higher the quality of function (minimum 0, maximum 100) Adjustment may lead to scores above 100 depending on age of group analyzed. The range for the Adjusted Constant-Murley score in a male participant is 0-178.6; the range for the Adjusted Constant-Murley score in a female participant is 0-192.3. Please note the calculations of the maximum Adjusted score assume a perfect score (100) in 100 year old male and female participants.
24 Months
Continuous Radiolucent Line
X-rays are reviewed by an independent radiographic reviewer to determine if a 1 mm wide or greater, continuous radiolucent line around the entire bony border of the GLOBAL ICON Stemless Shoulder implant exists. Such a line may indicate the implant is loosening.
24 months
Kaplan Meier Survivorship
Kaplan Meier Survival Estimate is based upon the number of GLOBAL ICON implants remaining in the study and the number of GLOBAL ICON implants that have been revised (surgically removed from participants).
24 months
Device-related Serious Adverse Events
Adverse events are any untoward health issues that occur when compared to a participant's normal health baseline. Serious adverse events include health events that have led to death or a serious deterioration in health that resulted in life threatening illness/injury, permanent impairment of a body structure, required hospitalization or required medical intervention to prevent life threatening illness/injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or function.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Severely painful and/or severely disabled Non-Inflammatory Degenerative Joint Disease (NIDJD) resulting from osteoarthritis (OA) or post traumatic arthritis Patient is willing and able to complete the required post-operative schedule Patient has provided written Informed Consent to participate
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects under the age of 21 or over the age of 80 on the day of consent Subjects who have not reached skeletal maturity, regardless of age Inadequate bone stock in the proximal humerus or glenoid fossa for supporting the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral components Bone that is too soft or porous to support the implant or that is too hard or brittle to allow for proper bone preparation and fixation, i.e osteoporosis or sclerotic bone, where there could be considerable migration of the prosthesis and/or a chance of fracture of the humerus or glenoid Fractures of the proximal humerus that could compromise the fixation of the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral components Subjects who have undergone previous treatment on the study shoulder that may compromise fixation of the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral components Revision of a failed hemi, total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty Active local or systemic infection Absent, irreparable or nonfunctional rotator cuff or other essential muscles Subject is receiving, or is scheduled to receive, treatment that the Investigator considers could affect bone quality, such as chemotherapy or high dose corticosteroids Subjects who, at the point of enrolment, already have a GLOBAL ICON shoulder replacement or are scheduled to receive, a contralateral shoulder replacement device Subjects who are known to be pregnant or breastfeeding Subjects who are known drug or alcohol abusers or with psychological disorders that could affect follow-up care or treatment outcomes Subjects with a known medical condition that the Investigator believes would impact the study outcomes (including, but not limited to osteomyelitis, Paget's disease, neuropathies such as Charcot's disease, metastatic or neoplastic disorders) Known polyethylene and/or metal sensitivity or allergy
