Shoulder stabilization surgery for bone loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had repeated shoulder dislocations and a doctor recommends surgery to stabilize it.
- You have a specific type of bone loss (between 13.5% and 20%) on the shoulder socket, measured by a CT scan.
- You have a HAGL lesion (a specific tear in the shoulder ligament).
- You agree to follow the study plan for 2 years and can give informed consent.

This trial compares two different ways to support your shoulder after arthroscopic surgery to fix anterior shoulder instability (a condition where your shoulder joint slips forward). Researchers want to see which support method—a traditional sling or a dynamic stabilizer—helps you recover better with less pain and better function.
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 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.
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 study looks at the long-term results of a specific shoulder surgery (Latarjet-like procedure) to treat chronic shoulder dislocations. It aims to understand how well the shoulder stays stable years after the surgery.
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.
