Shoulder surgery showdown: does extra stitching cost you range of motion?
NCT ID NCT07520669
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at people having a common shoulder-stabilizing surgery (Latarjet procedure). Some surgeons also repair the joint capsule, but it's unclear if that extra step limits how far you can rotate your arm outward. The trial will compare range of motion in 104 adults who get the standard surgery with or without the capsule repair, to help doctors decide the best approach.
