Could a tendon sling end repeat shoulder dislocations?

This pilot study tests a new surgical procedure for people with anterior shoulder instability, where the shoulder repeatedly dislocates. The procedure uses a semitendinosus tendon graft to create a sling around the subscapular tendon and form a new labrum, aiming to hold the shoulder joint in place better than standard repairs. Researchers will assess how well it prevents future dislocations and improves shoulder function and range of motion in a small group of participants.
