Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of shoulder surgery for instability or severe health impairments may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a capsular repair technique combined with the Latarjet procedure in treating shoulder instability. It is a prospective, comparative, longitudinal, randomized, single-blind, multicenter study that will evaluate the occurrence of osteoarthritis through radiographic analysis. The goal is to validate preliminary findings that suggest this approach may reduce the risk of developing osteoarthritis, thereby promoting long-term shoulder health and stability.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help patients maintain a healthy and pain-free shoulder for a longer duration.

How similar studies have gone: Preliminary results from similar approaches suggest potential benefits, but this specific technique is being validated in this study.
