NCT04809064

Brief Summary

This clinical trial will determine the outcome trajectories of common surgeries (arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, Latarjet) with post-operative rehabilitation and identification of prognostic factors among patients with acute or recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss. The results of the study assist in optimizing time to return to military duty, work and sports, and patient-reported physical function for military personnel and civilians with traumatic anterior shoulder instability and 10-20% glenoid bone loss. This study will provide a critical clinical advancement of a previously unaddressed and common clinical scenario.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

    The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is a 21-item instability-specific patient-reported outcome measure of physical symptoms, sports, recreation, work, lifestyle and emotions. The best possible score is 0 and a worst possible score is 2100. The WOSI was found to be responsive and sensitive to detecting change over time, demonstrating its utility as a primary outcome to evaluate treatments and to monitor participants' progress over time.

    3 months after surgery

  • Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

    The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is a 21-item instability-specific patient-reported outcome measure of physical symptoms, sports, recreation, work, lifestyle and emotions. The best possible score is 0 and a worst possible score is 2100. The WOSI was found to be responsive and sensitive to detecting change over time, demonstrating its utility as a primary outcome to evaluate treatments and to monitor participants' progress over time.

    6 months after surgery

  • Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

    The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is a 21-item instability-specific patient-reported outcome measure of physical symptoms, sports, recreation, work, lifestyle and emotions. The best possible score is 0 and a worst possible score is 2100. The WOSI was found to be responsive and sensitive to detecting change over time, demonstrating its utility as a primary outcome to evaluate treatments and to monitor participants' progress over time.

    12 months after surgery

  • Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

    The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is a 21-item instability-specific patient-reported outcome measure of physical symptoms, sports, recreation, work, lifestyle and emotions. The best possible score is 0 and a worst possible score is 2100. The WOSI was found to be responsive and sensitive to detecting change over time, demonstrating its utility as a primary outcome to evaluate treatments and to monitor participants' progress over time.

Eligibility Criteria

Age17 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Male and female military personnel and civilians between the ages of 17 and 50 with a traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation with associated 10-20% glenoid bone loss, having undergone either an 1) arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, 2) open Bankart, or a 3) Latarjet, and plans to return to physically demanding work or sports.

You may qualify if:

  • Civilians and military personnel ages 17 to 50
  • Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation
  • Associated subcritical bone loss between 10-20% less the glenoid width quantified by standard of care CT scan, MRI, or 3D-MRI scan
  • Had shoulder instability surgery using either 1) arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of Hill-Sachs lesion; 2) open Bankart; or 3) Latarjet

You may not qualify if:

  • Chronic, non-traumatic multi-directional instability based on clinical exam
  • Concurrent shoulder injury in the involved shoulder (e.g., rotator cuff tears, motor nerve pathologies, osteoarthritis of a Samilson-Prieto grade \>2)
  • Prior rotator cuff procedure on involved shoulder (including intra-articular soft tissue surgery
  • Humeral sided bone lesions (Hill-Sachs lesion) that is sufficiently large enough to render the lesion "off-track" even after a bony augmentation procedure would be performed
  • Neuromuscular, neurological and other movement control pathologies including seizures
  • Vascular injury associated with the shoulder trauma that compromise adequate/normal healing or interferes with usual course of care
  • Traumatic brain injury or any condition that would preclude the ability to comply with post-operative guidelines
  • Cartilage lesion finding in the involved shoulder that would interfere with usual course of care
  • Known pregnancy at time of imagining and/or surgery based upon standard of care testing procedures
  • Any issue with the contralateral shoulder that would preclude participation in research procedures
  • Any condition in the opinion of the investigator/clinician that would preclude or limit full participation in study activities
  • Absence of a fixed address or no means of contact
  • Known inability to be available at all follow-up time points
  • Does not plan to return to pre-injury levels of work, sports or military duty

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

A public-use version of the dataset will be constructed by the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) with contents to be determined jointly by the study PIs and the DCC Director. Copies of the public-use version of the dataset will be housed at the DCC on a secure server along with suitable documentation of this dataset. The public-use version of the dataset will be exported in one or more files in simple, widely-accessible formats, e.g., .xls, .csv, and/or Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) datasets. Documentation will be in .pdf files.

Shared Documents
STUDY PROTOCOL
Time Frame
The public-use version of the dataset will be made available 2 years after the study's main paper is published.
Access Criteria
Outside investigators wishing to conduct analyses using the data will submit a request with objectives, methods, and analysis plan to the PI and the Director of the DCC. Once the request is approved, the public-use version of the dataset, with documentation, will be sent by secure email using e-mail, ftp, or other mutually agreeable transmission method.
