To compare and validate the two clinical algorithms
The primary objective of this research is to examine the result of rotator cuff repairs following acute shoulder dislocations and to investigate whether timing of surgery following acute shoulder dislocations affects patients perception of pain, function, and strength following surgery.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic Bankart repair using MG-1 for dislocation of shoulder
Comparison of immobilization in internal versus external rotation after first time anterior shoulder dislocation.
The study looks at treatments for reversing chronic shoulder subluxation after a stroke. It compares electrical stimulation with surface electrodes (stimulation through the skin) with intra-muscular stimulation (from inside the muscle)using an implanted micro-stimulator (BION). Subjects are put either in a surface stimulation or a BION® group. In the BION® group, two BION®s are implanted in the shoulder, the medial deltoid and supraspinatus muscles. Treatment consists of a baseline of 6 weeks, and 6 weeks of therapy, consisting of 2 sessions per day for 10 to 30 minutes each time. This is followed by 6 weeks without therapy. If testing shows that after 6 weeks of therapy there is no reversal of subluxation, more intense therapy is carried out for another 6 weeks. Treatment is similar in the surface electrode group, but surface electrodes deliver the stimulation instead of BION®s. A total of 30 subjects is expected to complete the study.
The purpose of this study is to compare non-operative treatment versus operative treatment in patients who suffer a complete, acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. This study will show if one method is superior to the other and will also show advantages and disadvantages associated with each treatment method.
The purpose of this study is to compare arthroscopic and open shoulder stabilization procedures by measuring the disease-specific quality of life outcome in patients with traumatic unidirectional anterior instability of the shoulder at 2 and 5 years. Hypothesis: There is no difference in disease-specific quality of life outcomes in patients with traumatic unidirectional anterior shoulder instability, undergoing an arthroscopic versus an open stabilization procedure.
This trial will compare the effectiveness of electrothermal arthroscopic capsulorrhaphy (ETAC) to the current reference standard procedure, open inferior capsular shift (ICS), for the treatment of shoulder instability caused by ligamentous capsular redundancy. Multi-directional instability (MDI) and multi-directional laxity with anteroinferior instability (MDL-AII) are the two types of shoulder instabilities included in this trial. Hypothesis: There is no difference in disease-specific quality of life between patients undergoing an ETAC versus an open ICS for the treatment of shoulder instability caused by capsular ligamentous redundancy.
Dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is the most common traumatic joint dislocation. The usual treatment of first time traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder is reduction followed by immobilization in a sling for a period of one to three weeks. The incidence of recurrence is high and age at the time of primary dislocation is the chief prognostic factor in determining the risk of recurrence. There is no agreement according to the effect of immobilization,neither to the length of immobilization time. The Bankart lesion with avulsion of the inferior-anterior capsulolabral complex is almost invariably present in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation. Recent and ongoing studies by Eijii Itoi et al,Akita university Japan, gives evidence of the immobilization with the arm held in external rotation may reduce the risk of subsequent instability by approximating the Bankart lesion to the neck of the glenoid giving a more anatomical healing. We have started a prospective randomized study. The patients are assigned to two groups with informed consent. One group are immobilized in internal rotation for 3 weeks and the second group are immobilized in external rotation for 3 weeks. We will compare the rate of relaxation between the groups. Because age is the main prognostic factor we use stratified randomization with two age groups: One group of patients aged between 16 and 24 years and one group aged between 25 and 40 years.The time of observation after initial treatment will be 2 years with follow up after 4 and 10 years. Eleven hospitals and two primary trauma care centers in Norway participate in the study. A subgroup of 50 patients are also planned to be examined with CT and MRI.
