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 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 study tests a new rehab program after a shoulder stabilization surgery called Latarjet. It may help you recover better if you have had a dislocated shoulder and need this surgery.
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 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.
