What the study is about

This is a pilot multi-centre, double blinded randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome of this pilot trial will be feasibility. Prior to conducting a large definitive trial, the investigators will conduct this pilot trial comparing arthroscopic Bankart repair with arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction (AAGR), evaluating recurrent dislocation rates and functional outcomes over a 24-month period. The feasibility objectives are: (1) to evaluate the investigators ability to recruit patients across multiple sites and (2) to assess study protocol adherence and ability to follow patients to 24 months. Clinical objectives for the pilot trial are exploratory only. The investigators wish to gather means and standard deviations for clinical outcomes to power their future definitive trial. The objectives of the definitive trial will include a comparison of patient-reported outcomes at the two-year post-operative time point, differences in recurrence rates, complication rates, functional shoulder assessments, and return to work/sport.

Being studied: Bankart Repair; Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction

Conditions: Shoulder Instability
