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.

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 tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
This study checks if measuring shoulder muscle strength before surgery can help predict whether you will be able to return to your sport after a shoulder stabilization operation called the Latarjet procedure. You will have your strength tested with a special machine, and your recovery will be followed.
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.
This study tests arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery to repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It aims to see how well this surgery works for people with this common shoulder injury.
