NCT ID NCT03453710
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two surgical procedures for people who have had multiple shoulder dislocations and have minor bone loss. One surgery is done through small incisions (arthroscopic), and the other is open surgery. The goal is to see which approach better restores shoulder stability and function. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries and followed over time.
