Comparing two surgical methods for shoulder dislocation treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial compares the effectiveness of the Latarjet procedure and Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction (AGR) in treating anterior shoulder dislocations with significant bone loss. Both surgical techniques aim to reduce the risk of recurrent dislocations and improve patient outcomes, including pain relief and functional recovery. The study involves patients who have experienced one or more shoulder dislocations and have a pre-operative CT scan showing over 20% bone loss. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Latarjet or AGR intervention.
