Study of injuries after shoulder dislocation in adults over 40
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows people over age 40 who have their first traumatic “front” shoulder dislocation to learn what injuries happen and how they can be identified. It may help doctors better understand what to check for after this kind of injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study follows people who have had a first-time shoulder dislocation to learn more about the injury patterns, how the shoulder moves, and what happens over time. It aims to help improve treatments for future patients.
This study compares two approaches for teenagers who have had a first-time shoulder dislocation: one is early surgery to stabilize the shoulder, and the other is a rehabilitation (physical therapy) program. The goal is to see which approach leads to better long-term recovery and lower risk of future dislocations.
This study looks at how military members recover after a first-time shoulder dislocation. It aims to find better ways to treat and prevent future dislocations.
This trial studies surgical treatment for people whose shoulder keeps dislocating forward (anteriorly). It may help by choosing a surgery plan for the amount of bone loss seen on scans, while excluding people with certain medical or instability patterns.
This trial tests a keyhole (arthroscopic) operation to help people with repeated front shoulder dislocations and small amounts of bone damage. It aims to improve stability and reduce pain for those who haven't improved with other treatments.
