This clinical trial will determine the outcome trajectories of common surgeries (arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, Latarjet) with post-operative rehabilitation and identification of prognostic factors among patients with acute or recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss. The results of the study assist in optimizing 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. This study will provide a critical clinical advancement of a previously unaddressed and common clinical scenario.
The objective of this study is to determine the outcome trajectories of common surgeries (arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, Latarjet) with post-operative rehabilitation and identification of prognostic factors among military personnel and civilians with acute or recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss.
Aim 1: The investigators will determine the acute and long term patient relevant outcomes (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability score [WOSI], time to RTD/A at pre-injury levels, and recurrent instability/re-injury) at 6 months, 1, and 2 years of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, and Latarjet.
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, having undergone either an 1) arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, 2) open Bankart, or a 3) Latarjet, and plans to return to physically demanding work or sports.
Study / Experimental Design: Prospective Observational Cohort Study (Aims 1 \& 2).
Methodology: Participants will undergo a standard of care computed tomography (CT) or 3D-MRI scan to quantify glenoid bone loss and shoulders with between 10-20% bone loss will be offered enrollment. We will allow shared decision-making between the patient-participant and the surgeon to occur in order to select the surgical stabilization procedure (arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage of a Hill-Sachs lesion, open Bankart, or Latarjet). Only those patients having one of the three surgeries will be eligible for this study. Therefore, 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, plans to return to physically demanding work or sports, and having undergone one of the three surgeries listed above 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. We will collect information from the surgeon into what individual factors influenced the decision on surgical selection for each patient-participant.
To address the associated aims, 450 individuals will recruited and enrolled to participate in this study. 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.

Functional Comorbidity Index
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.

Plan to share: Yes — A public-use version of the dataset will be constructed by the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) with contents to be determined jointly by the study PIs and the DCC Director. Copies of the public-use version of the dataset will be housed at the DCC on a secure server along with suitable documentation of this dataset. The public-use version of the dataset will be exported in one or more files in simple, widely-accessible formats, e.g., .xls, .csv, and/or Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) datasets. Documentation will be in .pdf files.
Supporting information: Study protocol
Time frame: The public-use version of the dataset will be made available 2 years after the study's main paper is published.
Access criteria: Outside investigators wishing to conduct analyses using the data will submit a request with objectives, methods, and analysis plan to the PI and the Director of the DCC. Once the request is approved, the public-use version of the dataset, with documentation, will be sent by secure email using e-mail, ftp, or other mutually agreeable transmission method.
