Shoulder surgery showdown: which fix keeps your joint in place?

This study compares two common surgeries for people who have repeated shoulder dislocations. One surgery repairs the torn ligament and may add a tendon fill (Bankart + Remplissage), while the other moves a piece of bone to block dislocation (Latarjet). The goal is to see which approach leads to better shoulder function and fewer repeat dislocations over two years. The trial involves 114 adults aged 18 to 50 with a history of at least two dislocations and some bone loss.
