Biceps tendon surgery could stop shoulder dislocations
NCT ID NCT07488039
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgery called Labroplasty for people whose shoulder keeps dislocating forward. The surgeon uses a part of the biceps tendon to repair the damaged shoulder socket. The goal is to see if this improves shoulder function and stability. About 21 adults with minor bone loss and a torn labrum will take part.
