Description
Rodrigo Saad Berreta and a large team set outcome benchmarks after shoulder surgery in a 2026 study. Patients had arthroscopic stabilization, a keyhole repair, for front shoulder instability with a torn labrum. Sixty-five patients were followed for at least two years, and four outcome scores were analyzed.
Benchmarks for a meaningful gain and an acceptable state were set for each score, with success rates mostly between 77 and 91 percent. Symptoms lasting over six months and a loose-joint trait predicted missing the marks. A certain tear type, ALPSA, also predicted failure, while lower body mass index helped.
