About this study

This is a multicenter study of data from the medical records of patients who underwent shoulder stabilization surgery and who underwent a normally scheduled evaluation as part of their postoperative follow-up six months after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Infection is a major cause of failure in shoulder arthroplasty and must be systematically sought at the time of revision, even if this is motivated by other complications (loosening, instability, periprosthetic fracture).

These cultures, performed in patients without clinical suspicion of infection, reveal, in 25 to 60% of cases, the presence of germs of cutaneous origin which, although generally considered to be non-virulent, continue to be debated as to their clinical significance and their implication in the failure of shoulder arthroplasty. Among these germs, propionibacterium acnes, staphylococcus epidermidis or coagulasenegative Staphylococcus are the most frequently identified.

The origin of these germs is still debated. Cultures of deep synovial fluid or tissues from patients receiving a first-line shoulder prosthesis show the presence of Cutibacterium acnes in 9% to 41% of cases despite preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. These infections could be the consequence of contamination by a commensal germ during surgical exposure. Other authors consider them as an etiological factor in the development of shoulder arthritis. They would be more frequent in young subjects and male subjects.

The Latarjet procedure or coracoid bone block is commonly used in the surgical treatment of anterior shoulder instability.

It consists of cutting the coracoid bone with the coraco-biceps muscle that inserts on it, then passing it through the subscapularis muscle and fixing it on the scapula, thus creating a bone block. It can be performed by a conventional mini-invasive technique after an incision of 4 to 5 cm on the front of the shoulder or by arthroscopy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patients with positive culture

    The primary endpoint, based on the culture result, is the number of patients with at least one positive culture

    Measured: Month 6

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Walch-Duplay Questionnaire

    The Walch questionnaire includes a descriptive part (type and level of sport practiced, dominant score) and an evaluation scale of subjective and objective data (stability, pain, recovery of sport level, mobility) to assess the clinical result of the shoulder stabilization. The score ranges from 0 to 100. The result is considered excellent for a score of 91 to 100 points, good for 76 to 90 points, average for 51 to 75 points, and poor for a score of 50 points or less.

    Measured: Month 6

  2. Constant score

    The Constant and Murley score explores several domains: pain, activity, strength and mobility.

    The total score varies from 0 to 100 points, 100 points corresponding to a normal shoulder and 0 to a totally deficient shoulder.

    Measured: Month 6

  3. Bacteriological criterion

    Nature of germs identified in culture

    Measured: Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shoulder Instability Subluxation Bilateral, run by GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2022. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with positive culture (time frame: Month 6). 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 20 Dec 2022.
