Summary

This randomized controlled trial seeks to address a significant clinical gap by evaluating the outcomes of two postoperative immobilization methods following arthroscopic soft tissue surgery for anterior shoulder instability: a standard static arm sling and a dynamic shoulder orthosis.

Conditions

  • Anterior Shoulder Instability
  • Shoulder Instability
  • Shoulder Dislocation

Interventions

DEVICE

Dynamic Immobilizer

An adjustable strap system applied immediately post-surgery that permits movement of the shoulder joint while simultaneously limiting potentially harmful ranges of motion and translations. It is worn continuously for 3 weeks.

DEVICE

Conventional fabric arm sling

Static immobilization using a conventional fabric arm sling applied immediately post-surgery and worn continuously for 3 weeks.
