Conditions

Shoulder Dislocation

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine whether intra-operative factors, complications and post-operative outcomes differ between beach chair and lateral decubitus surgical positioning for patients receiving arthroscopic shoulder stabilization (anterior or posterior) due to shoulder instability.

Interventions

PROCEDUREBeach Chair Position

Patients positioned in beach chair during arthroscopic shoulder stabilization

Patients positioned in lateral decubitus position during arthroscopic shoulder stabilization

Inclusion criteria

-Any patient undergoing arthroscopic labral repair due to shoulder instability, with or without concomitant debridement.

Exclusion criteria

* Revision stabilization surgery * No previous Bankart repairs, labral repairs, capsulorrhaphy, or Latarjet * Multidirectional shoulder instability * Concomitant rotator cuff repair, biceps tenodesis/tenotomy, HAGL repair * Isolated SLAP repair/labral repair in association with mechanism other than -instability (eg: overhead athletes) open procedures for instability
