NCT ID NCT07405827
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This 20-year study follows 5,000 people who had shoulder instability surgery (Bankart repair or Latarjet procedure). Researchers will track how many have repeat dislocations, how well the shoulder works over time, and how quickly patients return to sports. The goal is to learn which surgery works best in the long run.
