Does Capsuloplasty Help External Rotation After Coracoid Impingement Surgery

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 interventional study compares open coracoid impingement repair performed with and without capsuloplasty in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. The goal is to see if adding capsular repair affects joint motion, particularly external rotation, after surgery. Researchers will follow patients to assess range of motion, stability, and functional outcomes after the procedure. Eligibility includes adults with prior shoulder instability requiring surgery and no major rotator cuff or SLAP pathology. The study is conducted at Clinique du Sport in Mérignac, under a single sponsor team, with no listed collaborators.
