Shoulder and knee surgery outcomes study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different types of shoulder and knee surgeries work for sports injuries. It aims to help improve future care by following patients' recovery after common procedures like fixing torn cartilage or repairing ligaments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 8 years old or older.
- You have a shoulder or knee injury that needs surgery.
- The surgery you need is a common, planned type (like fixing a torn ACL, repairing cartilage, or treating a rotator cuff).

- You do not have a serious mental health condition or trouble thinking that would make it hard to follow instructions.

This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
This study looks at how well shoulder muscle strength can predict whether you will be able to return to sports after a specific shoulder stabilization surgery called the Latarjet procedure. You may be eligible if you had a sports-related shoulder dislocation and are planning to have this surgery.
This study tests whether using robotic assistance during surgery improves outcomes for a specific type of knee fracture where the ligament attachment to the shin bone breaks off. Robotic guidance may help surgeons place repair more precisely.
This study looks at how a specific knee bone alignment issue seen on MRI relates to how well ACL surgery works afterward. It may help doctors better predict outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
This study looks at recovery after different types of shoulder surgery. It may help doctors understand the best way to care for people after their operation.
This study follows patients who had joint repair with specific Stryker devices to see how well the procedure works in daily life.
