Mid- to long-term results of postoperative immobilization in internal vs. external rotation after arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization.
Article in JSES international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is still a disagreement on the postoperative rehabilitation concerning position of immobilization of the shoulder after arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization and its influence on the clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical results and the recurrence rate after arthroscopic anteroinferior shoulder stabilization and postoperative immobilization in internal rotation vs. external rotation.
methodsTwenty-five patients (22 male and 3 female, mean age 28.5 years) were included in this prospective nonrandomized cohort study. In group I (11 male, 2 female, mean age 28 years), the postoperative functional immobilization was carried out in internal rotation of 60°, and in group II (11 male, 1 female, mean age 30 years), 15° of external rotation of the arm for 4 weeks in both groups. The clinical follow-up was performed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks as well as at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively including assessment of range of motion and functional shoulder scores (Subjective Shoulder Value, Constant score, Rowe score, Walch Duplay score, Melbourne Instability Shoulder Score). Furthermore, shoulder instability was evaluated using the apprehension, relocation, and surprise tests. Mid-term follow-up data were additionally assessed after a minimum of 4 years.
resultsTwenty patients (19 male and 1 female) with an average age of 28 years were followed up for 62 (53-72) months after arthroscopic stabilization. The comparison of both groups showed almost equal results regarding the range of motion without any significant differences (
conclusionThe type of immobilization after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization does not influence the clinical results after a mid- to long-term follow-up.
