First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study examined tissue samples from the shoulder capsule of 40 patients to see if certain changes are linked to shoulder instability. Researchers compared samples from patients with unstable shoulders to those without. The goal was to better understand these tissue changes, which could eventually lead to improved surgical repairs.
