Evaluation of Surgical Positioning in Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization

Rothman Institute Orthopaedics556 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine whether intra-operative factors, complications and post-operative outcomes differ between beach chair and lateral decubitus surgical positioning for patients receiving arthroscopic shoulder stabilization (anterior or posterior) due to shoulder instability.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Shoulder instability

Participants will be asked by their surgeon at routine follow up visits if they have encountered any episodes of shoulder instability (shoulder dislocations)

Time frame: 2 years

Secondary Outcomes

Postoperative patient satisfaction

Participant satisfaction will be measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES)

Time frame: 2 years

Postoperative patient satisfaction

Participant satisfaction will be measured using the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation survey (SANE)

Time frame: 2 years

Postoperative patient satisfaction

Participant satisfaction will be measured using the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) index

Time frame: 2 years
