Labral repair for shoulder instability with minor bone loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery to repair a torn shoulder socket rim (labrum) in people with recurrent shoulder dislocations and minor bone loss. It aims to restore shoulder stability and prevent future dislocations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least one shoulder dislocation that happened without a major injury.
- The socket rim (labrum) has a specific type of tear (type 2 or 3).
- The bone loss in your shoulder socket is less than 20%.
- You feel your shoulder is about to dislocate when it is moved in certain directions.

This study compares two surgical methods to treat repeated shoulder dislocations. One method fixes the shoulder bone, and the other also repairs a nearby ligament to try to improve stability. The goal is to see if adding the ligament repair helps prevent future dislocations and improves recovery.
This trial tests a specific shoulder surgery for people with repeated shoulder dislocations and a small amount of bone loss on the shoulder socket. It aims to see if this procedure is effective and safe over 2 years.
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 compares two surgery approaches for people with a traumatic, unstable (dislocating) shoulder when they also have moderate bone loss. It may help identify which method restores stability better and with fewer problems for the right patients.
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.
This trial compares two types of surgery that rebuild the front (anterior) shoulder bone when there has been significant bone loss. It may help find which operation works better to keep your shoulder from dislocating again.
