Multifactorial approach training for anterior shoulder instability after a Latarjet procedure: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Latarjet procedure is the mainstay treatment in high-demand patients with substantial glenoid bone loss or after failed capsulolabral repairs. Patients typically return to sport (RTS) within 6 months postoperatively, requiring intensive rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation protocols focus on mobility, strength and stability. Yet, psychological factors, such as fear of reinjury, are the main reason not to RTS. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether integrating psychological interventions into postoperative rehabilitation improves patient-reported shoulder function compared with physical therapy alone.

Methods and analysis

This monocentric randomised controlled trial will enrol 52 patients undergoing a Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instab
