About this trial
This clinical trial will determine the outcome trajectories of common surgeries (arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, Latarjet) with post-operative rehabilitation and identification of prognostic factors among patients with acute or recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss. The results of the study assist in optimizing time to return to military duty, work and sports, and patient-reported physical function for military personnel and civilians with traumatic anterior shoulder instability and 10-20% glenoid bone loss. This study will provide a critical clinical advancement of a previously unaddressed and common clinical scenario.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Civilians and military personnel ages 17 to 50
Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation
Associated subcritical bone loss between 10-20% less the glenoid width quantified by standard of care CT scan, MRI, or 3D-MRI scan
Had shoulder instability surgery using either 1) arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of Hill-Sachs lesion; 2) open Bankart; or 3) Latarjet
Disqualifiers
Chronic, non-traumatic multi-directional instability based on clinical exam
Concurrent shoulder injury in the involved shoulder (e.g., rotator cuff tears, motor nerve pathologies, osteoarthritis of a Samilson-Prieto grade >2)
Have a history of shoulder surgery in the involved shoulder (prior instability surgery that included any of the following and the planned procedure would be a repeat of the index procedure: 1) arthroscopic Bankart repair with a remplissage of Hill-Sachs lesion, 2) open Bankart, or 3) Latarjet [previous isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair only would not be an exclusion criterion], rotator cuff repair, intra-articular soft tissue surgery); rotator cuff repair, intra-articular soft tissue surgery)
Prior rotator cuff procedure on involved shoulder (including intra-articular soft tissue surgery
