Clinical Outcomes of Arthroscopic Surgeries for Shoulder and Knee Sports Injuries

NCT07501013 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

Summary

This observational study aims to evaluate the long-term recovery and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive (arthroscopic) surgeries for sports-related shoulder and knee injuries.

Sports injuries, such as ligament tears, meniscus damage, and rotator cuff tears, are common and can significantly impact a person's daily life and ability to return to sports. While surgery is an effective treatment, the recovery process and final outcomes can vary greatly from person to person.

Researchers will follow patients who are already scheduled for routine shoulder or knee surgery at the study center. By collecting detailed information about the patient's initial injury, the specific surgical techniques used by the doctor, and the patient's recovery progress over two years, the study hopes to identify which factors lead to the best healing and functional outcomes.

Participants will be asked to complete standard questionnaires about their joint function and pain levels before their surgery, and again at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. The study is strictly observational; it will not change the standard medical care, surgical plan, or rehabilitation routine the patients receive.

Conditions

  • Athletic Injuries (C26.857.500.124)
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries
  • Tibial Meniscus Injuries
  • Shoulder Dislocation or Subluxation
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
  • Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Standard of Care Shoulder Arthroscopy

Routine, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical procedures tailored to the patient's specific shoulder pathology, followed by standard postoperative rehabilitation. This is strictly observational; no experimental procedures are introduced.

PROCEDURE

Standard of Care Knee Arthroscopy

Routine, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical procedures tailored to the patient's specific knee pathology, followed by standard postoperative rehabilitation. This is strictly observational; no experimental procedures are introduced.
