NCT ID NCT07486440
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 180 people aged 16 and older who have dislocated their shoulder for the first time. Researchers will use CT and MRI scans to look for bone and soft tissue injuries, and track participants for up to 10 years to see who has another dislocation and how their shoulder functions. The goal is to better understand risk factors and improve future treatment.
