Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Dislocation"

Background: Glenohumeral instability is a highly prevalent pathology; however, there is great controversy in its definition. Traditionally, structural problems such as labral injury or bone loss in the glenoid cavity were considered the main causes; but recently, it has been seen that motor control plays a very relevant role. This means that currently, there is a disparity of action protocols and the treatment of this pathology is a great challenge. Aim: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a supervised multicomponent therapeutic exercise program in reducing multivariable fatigue in patients with instability of the glenohumeral joint. Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial will be carried out, in which 12 adult patients who have suffered at least one episode of glenohumeral instability in the last year will be recruited, who will be randomized to the intervention group, which will carry out a multicomponent therapeutic exercise program supervised by physiotherapists (MoveUS Program); or to the control group, which will receive the usual care. All subjects will be evaluated at baseline, mid-treatment and at the end. In these evaluations, range of movement, maximum peak of isometric force, kinematic, physiological and psychometric fatigue, return to activity, motor control and number of recurrences will be assessed; as well as the quality of life measured through the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, which will be the main outcome variable. A multivariate analysis will be performed through a statistical program. Discussion: This study aims to determine if therapeutic exercise supervised by physiotherapists is capable of reducing multivariable fatigue, reducing the number of recurrences and improving quality of life; to be able to implement it in the future in public and private centers.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic and open Chinese Unique Inlay Bristow procedure in treating recurrent anterior shoulder instability.

Each year within Canada and the US, more than 30,000 children and adolescents will have an injury to their shoulder resulting in a shoulder dislocation. Although the current practice is to manage this initial dislocation without surgery, the vast majority of these children and adolescents will, unfortunately continue to have instability episodes of their shoulder. Recurrent instability can cause damage to the bones and cartilage that form the shoulder resulting in potentially more difficult surgical stabilization, and possibly long-term sequela. To that effect, there is increasing interest to consider early surgical stabilization in this population. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger RCT assessing the effect of early arthroscopic stabilization compared to rehabilitation on the rate of repeat shoulder dislocations (recurrent instability), pain, and shoulder function among adolescents (aged 12-18 years) with first-time shoulder dislocations. These patients will be followed for one year.

This is a pilot study designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing arthroscopic Bankart repair and Remplissage with an open Latarjet coracoid transfer for the treatment of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability with subcritical bone loss.

Describe the purpose and objective(s) of the study, specific aims, and/or research questions/hypotheses: The purpose of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training with standard care of physical therapy versus the standard care of Physical Therapy alone and its effect on shoulder function and patient outcomes in military cadets recovering from shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize after 6 weeks of BFR training will contribute to 13 (76%) or more participants will achieve scores within one standard deviation of normative values for isometric strength and functional tests at six months following shoulder stabilization surgery. Furthermore, we hypothesize that 14 (82%) or more participants will report improved patientreported outcomes as determined by the minimal clinical difference (MCD) at 12 weeks and six months post-operatively. Objective 1: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder isometric strength, as measured by a digital handheld dynamotor following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 2: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder range of motion, as measured by a digital inclinometer, following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder function as measured by the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), Seated Shot-Put Test (SSPT), and Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 4: To evaluate the effectiveness of BFR training on shoulder pain, measured by a numerical pain rating scale, following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 5: To evaluate the effectiveness of a BFR training on patient-reported outcomes, measured by Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and the Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Aim 1:To identify whether BFR with Physical Therapy is more effective at increasing shoulder strength than therapy alone following shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize that the BFR with Physical Therapy group will be more effective at increasing shoulder strength than the Physical Therapy group without BFR following shoulder stabilization surgery. Aim 2:To identify whether BFR with Physical Therapy is more effective at increasing shoulder function than therapy alone following shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize that the BFR with Physical Therapy group will be more effective at increasing shoulder function than the Physical Therapy group without BFR following shoulder stabilization surgery.

Anterior shoulder dislocations occur when the humeral head translates anterior to the glenoid cause pain, stiffness, and glenoid bone loss. If left untreated, the risk of recurrence can be up to or greater than 90%. The only surgically modifiable factor to reduce the risk of recurrence is the glenoid bone loss (GBL), where surgeons have the ability to recreate the shape of the glenoid and reduce the risk of recurrent shoulder dislocations. Established boney procedures for shoulder instability include the Latarjet and free bone block procedures, such as the Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction (AGR). The Latarjet is well known for its lower rate of recurrent instability, but raises concerns due to under-appreciated complications rates. The AGR is a newer surgical approach that has garnered attention for its low rate of recurrent instability and complication profile. Both treatments can reduce pain, increase function following surgery and reduce the risk of recurrent instability. However, these two established approaches have yet to be directly compared and studied on a larger scale. The purpose of this randomized control trial is to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes pre- and post-operatively between the Latarjet to the AGR.

The anterior glenohumeral dislocation is frequently encountered in emergency medicine. It represents about 50% of the total dislocation and affects 1 resident for 10 000 in France. In Nord Franche-Comte Hospital, 1 to 2 patients per day present this diagnosis in the emergency department, which requires reduction by external manoeuvres. A retrospective study shows the interest of the ventral decubitus compared to dorsal decubitus reduction in the care of patients with anterior glenohumeral dislocation. None prospective study has already demonstrate the interest of the ventral decubitus compared to the dorsal decubitus in the reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocation. The main objective is to evaluate the speed of the reduction of the anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the ventral decubitus technique compared to the conventional technique in dorsal decubitus.

Anterior shoulder dislocation is a pathology frequently encountered in emergency medicine. The success in reducing anterior shoulder dislocations depends on muscle relaxation, which is itself conditioned by the patient's pain and apprehension. However, there is no consensus on the optimal technique for reducing anterior shoulder dislocation or the analgesia associated with it. Analgesia with METHOXYFLURANE showed a greater reduction in post-traumatic pain compared to standard analgesic treatment and faster action of METHOXYFLURANE. A retrospective study which has compared analgesia with METHOXYFLURANE and analgesic sedation with PROPOFOL found a shoulder reduction success rate of 80% and a reduction in the average length of stay in the emergency department. Finally, the use of virtual reality in pain management is emerging in our practices by allowing pre- and per-procedure hypno-sedation-analgesia. However, the use of virtual reality headsets has not been studied in the management of anterior shoulder dislocation. The use of these two techniques could therefore limit the use of procedural sedation in the context of shoulder dislocation reduction.

Traumatic anterior shoulder instability is a common injury for the contact athlete, with high rates of recurrence in some athletic populations. The specific indication for the Latarjet procedure differs amongst surgeons, however it is generally accepted that it is indicated in patients with anterior glenohumeral instability that are unlikely to have a successful outcome from either an arthroscopic or open anatomical Bankart repair. Overall the rate of reoperation following a Latarjet is around 5-7%. Infection, hematoma as well as screw removal and glenoid bony rim fractures are the most common indications for reoperation. The rate of instability after a Latarjet is low, with 1.7%-5.0% rate of dislocation. However, in terms of rehabilitation, there are only a few studies and evidence of best practices. A recent review of the literature has highlighted four studies, comparing different rehabilitation protocols, which include different immobilization periods ranging from 0 to 3 weeks, and different types of mobilization (under physiotherapist supervision or not, with machine or not). They found a similar rate of recurrent dislocation between the different protocols. But early passive motion enables to improve the range of motion during first 3-6 months, with similar results at one year. One main aspect which the surgeon can influence is immobilization time. In all above-mentioned studies, patients had to wear a sling for at least 3 weeks, even in the early mobilization groups. Short protocols with encouraging results have been recently emphasized by in other fields of shoulder surgery. The investigators would like to determine if the absence of postoperative immobilization could lead to improved function and better range of motion. To the investigators best knowledge, no study has sought to compare the usefulness of sling wearing after Latarjet procedure. Avoiding the sling could simplify rehabilitation and should provide a return to normal function faster.

Anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) is a common situation in the emergency department (ED). Quick reductions lead to reduced mid and long term complications. No technique is superior to one another. Inhaled nitrous oxide can deal with pain reduction and anxiety but its efficacy is not optimal, with safety issues. Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH), by distracting patients from their pain, may lead to a better muscular relaxation and an easier ASD reduction. Our first objective is to evaluate the clinical interest of VHR compared to nitrous oxide, in ASD reduction. Our second objective is to evaluate the safety of VRH in ASD reduction. Patients over 18 years presenting an ASD < 24 hours, will be illegible for enrollment in an open multicenter randomized controlled trial, conducted in the Great East Region in France.
