Brief Summary

This clinical trial will investigate the effects of three surgical procedures and the associated post-operative rehabilitation to optimize 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.

Detailed Description

The objective of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal surgical procedure and post-operative rehabilitation strategy for treatment of military personnel and civilians with shoulder instability and subcritical bone loss. Investigators will conduct a randomized, controlled trial comparing arthroscropic Bankart with remplissage/rehabilitation versus open Bankart/rehabilitation versus Latarjet/rehabilitation.

Aim 1: The investigators will determine the effects of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion versus open Bankart versus Latarjet on patient reported outcomes (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability score \[WOSI\]), time to Return to Duty/Activity (RTD/A) at pre-injury levels, and recurrent instability/re-injury at 6 months, 1 and 2 years.

Aim 2: The investigators will determine if participation in rehabilitation that optimizes range of motion, strength, and functional performance predicts successful RTD/A, WOSI score, and recurrent instability at 6 months, 1, and 2 years.

Subject 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 and plans to return to physically demanding work or sports, without multi-directional instability, concomitant shoulder pathologies (e.g. rotator cuff tears, motor nerve lesion, fractures, osteoarthritis \> Samilson Pietro grade 2), neuromuscular conditions including seizures, a history of shoulder surgery related to any intraarticular soft tissue, and vascular injury will be eligible to participate.

Study / Experimental Design: Randomized controlled trial (Aim 1), Prospective cohort (Aim 2).

Methodology: 450 individuals will be randomized to arthroscopic Bankart with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion/rehabilitation vs. open Bankart/rehabilitation vs. open Latarjet/rehabilitation.

To address Aim 1, individuals with traumatic anterior shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss will be randomized to arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissageof a Hill-Sachs lesion, or open Bankart, or Latarjet. To address Aim 2, all individuals will enter into rehabilitation with specific instructions for the first 12 weeks dependent on the surgical arm to which they are randomized. After week 12, all rehabilitation programs will be similar and progressed based upon the results of interim testing at 3, 4, and 6 months.

Participants will be followed for 24 months, with primary outcomes consisting of patient-reported physical function and time to return to pre-injury military duty, work and sports. Secondary outcomes will include shoulder-specific and generic patient-reported measures of physical function and health related quality of life and recurrent instability.

The Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) is an 18-item measure assessing the presence of medical comorbidities. The FCI is a self-administered report of medical comorbidities associated with physicla function. Using medical comorbidities is an important factor in creating risk adjustment models for orthopaedic trauma. The FCI was found to demonstrate a stronger association with the SF-36 physical function subscale (R2 = 0.29) than the Charleston (R2 = 0.18) and Kaplan-Feinstein (R2 = 0.17) indices. When individuals were classified into high and low function based ont he SF-36, the FCI correctly classified 77% of the cases.

Isometric Muscle Strength of the Shoulder6 months after surgery

Isometric muscle strength of shoulder will be assessed in 5 positions (external rotation at 0 degrees, external rotation at 90 degrees, internal rotation at 0 degrees, internal rotation at 90 degrees and scapular plane abduction at 90 degrees) using a hand-held dynamometer.

Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE)24 months after surgery

The SANE is a single-item, global, patient-reported outcome measure, where the participant provides a whole number response to the question "On a scale from 0 to 100, how would you rate your injured shoulder today, with 100 being normal?" SANE scale reliability is excellent (ICC greater or equal to 0.80) and Standard Error of Measurement ranges from 4.23 to 7.82 points. Validity of the SANE displays correlations of 0.50 - 0.88 (moderate to very strong correlations) between the SANE scale and other partient-reported outcome measures.

Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS)24 months after randomization

The Patient Acceptable Symptom State is assessed by asking the participant the question: Taking into account all the activity you have during your daily life, your level of pain and also activity limitations and participation restrictions, do you consider the current state of your shoulder satisfactory?" The PSS question is answered "Yes" or "No". A response of "Yes" indicates that the individual is satisfied with his/her current symptom state. The PASS question has show to have sufficient rest re-test reliability in patients after orthopaedic surgery, with a reported kappa coefficient of 0.78.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global-1024 months after surgery

The PROMIS Global-10 is a 10-item patient reported global measure of physical and emotional health. The PROMIS-10 Global Health also measures five domains: physical function, fatigue, pain, emotional distress, and social health. Items are rated on a five-point scale. It includes physical and mental health component scores that can be transformed to t score distributions with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. A higher score indicates better health.

Brief Resilience Scale24 months after randomization

The Brief Resilience Scale is a 6-item questionnaire that measures an individual's ability to recover from an ongoing health related stress. It uses a 5-point Likert scale that ranges from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." Totally, the individual responses creates a range of possible scores from 6 - 30. The total score is then divided by the total number of questions answered for the final score. The scores range from 1 to 5, where higher scores indicate positive resilience capabilities.
