Study for first-time shoulder dislocation in military
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies people in the military who have had their first true “shoulder out in front” dislocation. It may help improve how these injuries are understood and treated after the first event.

This study looks at treatment options for people who have had a first shoulder dislocation in the last 3 months. It may help find the best way to keep the shoulder from dislocating again and improve recovery.
This trial compares two treatments for adolescents who dislocated their shoulder for the first time: surgery to tighten the capsule or physical therapy alone. The goal is to find which approach prevents future dislocations and improves shoulder function.
This trial tests a type of shoulder surgery for people who have had one or more shoulder dislocations. It aims to fix the joint so it stays in place better and reduces pain.
This study compares non-surgical care versus surgical repair after a first-time dislocation of the shoulder. It may help you and your clinician choose the best option to reduce repeat dislocations and improve recovery.
This trial tests a new way to treat a dislocated shoulder in the emergency room. It might help people with a first-time or repeat shoulder dislocation get back to normal faster.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to stop the shoulder from repeatedly dislocating when there is significant damage to the shoulder socket and “matching” damage to the ball. It may help you if past repair hasn’t worked and imaging shows you have a higher-risk pattern of instability.
