Shoulder surgery showdown: which fix works best?
NCT ID NCT05564494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of shoulder surgery for people who have had multiple shoulder dislocations and have some bone loss. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is possible by checking how well doctors can recruit patients and follow them for two years. About 200 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries, and their recovery, dislocation rates, and quality of life will be tracked.
