Corporacion Parc Tauli · NCT05898243
This study looks at people over 40 who have their first shoulder dislocation to see what injuries they might have and how those injuries affect their recovery over two years.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients over 40 years old who experience their first traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation. It aims to identify the types of injuries associated with these dislocations and how they affect the clinical outcomes over a two-year follow-up period. The study will involve various imaging and diagnostic tests to gather comprehensive data on the injuries sustained. The findings could provide valuable insights into the management of shoulder dislocations in an aging population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals over 40 years old experiencing their first traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation.
Not a fit: Patients with previous shoulder fractures or neurovascular lesions in the affected extremity may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for older patients suffering from shoulder dislocations.
How similar studies have performed: While many studies focus on younger patients, this approach is novel as it specifically targets an older demographic with limited existing research.
