Evaluating return to performance after shoulder surgery in athletes

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 study aims to assess whether specific criteria for returning to sports can predict an athlete's performance level after shoulder instability surgery. Athletes who have undergone Bankart or Latarjet procedures will be evaluated at 6 months post-surgery using strength, range of motion, and functional tests, along with questionnaires. Performance monitoring will continue at 12, 18, and 24 months to determine the effectiveness of these criteria in predicting successful return to sport.
