Surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocations with or without extra ligament repair
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have recurrent shoulder dislocations caused by a significant bone defect in the shoulder socket or a Hill-Sachs lesion.
- You are willing to have shoulder surgery and follow the post-surgery rehabilitation plan.
- You have not had prior bone stabilization surgery on the affected shoulder.
- Your shoulder instability is not multidirectional and you do not have a full rotator cuff tear.
- You do not have active infection, inflammatory arthritis, or a tumor in the shoulder area, and you are not undergoing psychiatric care.
- You are able to participate in the study and are covered by a social security scheme.

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 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 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 tests a type of shoulder surgery for people who have had one or more shoulder dislocations. It aims to fix the joint so it stays in place better and reduces pain.
This study tests whether a surgical technique called capsuloplasty can prevent excessive external rotation (outward twisting) of the shoulder after surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocation. The goal is to help contact sport athletes return to activity safely.
This trial compares two treatments for adolescents who dislocated their shoulder for the first time: surgery to tighten the capsule or physical therapy alone. The goal is to find which approach prevents future dislocations and improves shoulder function.
