Summary

This 20-year study follows 5,000 people who had shoulder instability surgery (Bankart repair or Latarjet procedure). Researchers will track how many have repeat dislocations, how well the shoulder works over time, and how quickly patients return to sports. The goal is to learn which surgery works best in the long run.
