About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn Labroplasty using the long head of biceps tendon works to patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss (<20%) and thinned or deficient anterior labrum .The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Labroplasty using the long head of biceps improve the functional and radiological outcomes in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss?
Participants will:
undergo arthroscopic labroplasty using the long head of biceps tendon Visit the clinic regularly for checkup and followup undergo MRI at 6 months to check radiological outcome

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Arthroscopic Labroplasty using long head of biceps tendon in people with Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Sherif Walid Ibrahim, Assistant Lecturer (+201271377782 ext. 002, sherif_shibl@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Modified Rowe score postoperative (time frame: Assessed preoperative , then at 6 months and 12 months postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07488039, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Mar 2026.
