- 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.

Recurrent Instability / Re-injury 24 months after randomization Recurrent instability will consist of any of the following events: dislocation, subluxation, revision stabilization procedure.
Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) 24 months after randomization 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Performance on Functional Tests of the Upper Extremity - Weighted Overhead Ball Throw 6 months after surgery Weighted Overhead Ball Throw: Participant will throw a 9.07 kg medicine ball overhead, with both hands. Distance of throw recorded in centimeters. Three trials will be performed.
Brophy Shoulder Activity Level 24 months after randomization The Brophy Shoulder Activity Level is a patient-reported measure of participant's level of sports activity. It consists of 5 items that are rated in a 5-point scale (0-4), where higher scores indicate greater activity engagement. Possible scores on the scale range from 0 - 20.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) - Upper Extremity (UE) 24 months after randomization The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Scale - Upper Extremity (UE) consists of an item bank of 121 items that assesses physical function regardless of the health condition present that can be administered as a computer adaptive test (CAT) or through the use of short forms. The Physical Function scale scores transformed to a T-score in which a score of 50 represents the US population average with a standard deviation of 10 indicating the population standard deviation.
Passive Range of Motion of the Shoulder 6 months after surgery The range of passive elevation and external rotation and internal rotation of both shoulders will be measured with a goniometer. Range of motion measurements to the nearest 1 degree will be made with a large clear plastic gonionometer marked in 1 degree increments.
Performance on Functional Tests of the Upper Extremity - Unilateral Seated Shot-Put test 6 months after surgery Unilateral Seated Shot-Put test: Distance of shot-put recorded in centimeters. The distance a 2.72 kg medicine ball is pushed, from block against participant's back to the site of ball contact on the floor. The participant will complete three trials for each arm, with the average of 3 trials being used for analysis.
Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 (TSK-11) 24 months after surgery The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 quantifies fear of re-injury due to movement and physical activity. Items are scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). Total TSK-11 scores range from 11 - 44, with higher scores indicating greater fear of pain, movement, and injury.
Functional Comorbidity Index 24 months after surgery 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 Shoulder 6 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.
Performance on Functional Tests of the Upper Extremity - Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability test 6 months after surgery Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability test: Participants take a full pushup position. They alternatingly touch each hand with the other, as fast as they can, for 15 seconds. Number of touches in 15 seconds.Three trials will be performed and the average value will be calculated.
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-10 24 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 Scale 24 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.
Clinical Measures after Surgical Stabilization - Pain 12 months after surgery Pain: Pain intensity will be recorded utilizing an 11-point numeric pain scale (NPRS) that ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Th current, least, and worst pain intensity in the past 24 hours will be recorded and summed to create a pain score that ranges from 0 to 30.
Clinical Measures after Surgical Stabilization - Pain Medication Usage 12 months after surgery Pain Medication Usage: At follow-up visit, current narcotic pain medication usage is recorded. Usage (Yes/No): If "Yes," name of medication, dose, frequency of use, and indication is noted.
