Shoulder surgery showdown: capsule repair may curb arthritis risk

NCT ID NCT05978362

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether repairing the shoulder capsule during a common stabilization surgery (Latarjet) can lower the chance of developing arthritis later. About 86 adults with shoulder instability will be randomly assigned to get capsule repair or not, then followed for up to 10 years with X-rays. The main goal is to see if the repair reduces arthritis seen on X-ray at 5 and 10 years.
