About this study

The null hypothesis is that there is no statistical difference between the two treatment groups for any outcome. The investigators suspect that patients who undergo a Bankart lesion repair with rotator interval closure will have lower quality of life and less external rotation compared to patients who undergo a Bankart lesion repair alone. No difference will be observed for recurrence rate between the two treatment groups

Read the detailed description

Research assessing the role and effectiveness of rotator interval closure is important to attempt to determine the most beneficial and efficient treatment for Bankart lesions and anterior shoulder instability. To date there is only weak evidence supporting the superiority of Bankart lesion repair in addition to rotator interval closure compared to Bankart lesion repair alone.

Does Bankart lesion repair with rotator interval closure result in differences in quality of life, range of motion and recurrence at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years in similar patients with Bankart lesions who are treated with Bankart lesion repair alone?

  2. 4-Item Pain Intensity Measure

    Pain intensity in the morning, afternoon, evening and with activity

    Measured: 3,6, weeks; 3, 6 months; 1,2 years

  3. Upper Extremity Functional Index

    Limb-specific quality of life measurement tool (20 questions)

    Measured: 3,6 weeks; 3,6 months; 1,2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arthroscopic Bankart Repair alone and Closure of rotator interval in people with Bankart Lesions and Anterior Shoulder Instability, run by University of Western Ontario, Canada at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dianne Bryant, PhD (5196612111 ext. 83947, dianne.bryant@uwo.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (time frame: 3,6 weeks;3,6 months; 1,2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2014.
