Summary

This pilot study is being conducted to compare 2 methods of access to the shoulder for arthroplasty in patients with Osteoarthritis as we do not know has a better outcome.

Detailed description

The study investigates the difference in disease specific quality of life between patients who undergo a subscapularis peel versus morselized osteotomy of the lesser tuberosity, as measured by the Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) at one year post-operatively in patients who undergo shoulder arthroplasty ?

Conditions

• Subscapularis Peel
• Morselized Osteotomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	subscapularis peel	Detachment of the subscapularis tendon from its insertion on the lesser tuberosity "the peel".
PROCEDURE	osteotomy	This group will use a technique that involves elevation of the tendon with a wafer of bone in order to gain access to the shoulder.
