In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This pilot study aims to explore the feasibility and relevance of comparing the open Latarjet procedure performed with and without capsular repair (via coracoacromial ligament transfer) in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. It will also generate preliminary data on potential differences between the two techniques regarding stability, complications, range of motion, and functional outcomes-from an exploratory standpoint, without aiming to formally demonstrate efficacy. The study results could generate hypotheses to better define the role of capsular repair in the Latarjet procedure and guide the design of a future, adequately powered randomized controlled trial, taking into account not only mechanical outcomes but also functional and psychological dimensions.
