Long-Term Outcomes After Arthroscopic Shoulder and Knee Surgeries for Sports Injuries A Prospective Study of Recovery and Factors Affecting Healing

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to understand the long-term recovery and clinical outcomes of patients who have sports-related shoulder and knee injuries and undergo minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries. These injuries, such as ligament tears, meniscus damage, and rotator cuff tears, can greatly affect daily activities and the ability to return to sports. The study focuses on collecting detailed data to identify factors influencing recovery and functional outcomes after surgery. Participants include patients scheduled for routine shoulder or knee arthroscopic surgeries at the study center. The study is observational, with no changes to the standard surgical procedures or rehabilitation plans. Two groups are observed one with shoulder injuries undergoing standard arthroscopic shoulder surgery, and the other with knee injuries receiving standard arthroscopic knee surgery. Both groups will be followed over time to collect clinical data. Patients will complete questionnaires assessing joint function and pain before surgery and at several points after surgery 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Researchers will collect detailed surgical information, objective assessments, and biological samples to support further research. The primary outcome is patient-reported joint function, alongside secondary outcomes like complication rates and pain intensity. The study lasts up to two years post-surgery to monitor recovery and outcomes comprehensively.
