- The study introduces the concept of the superior shoulder suspension complex (SSSC), which is crucial for shoulder stability, and notes that disruption in this complex can lead to a "floating shoulder injury" (FSI).
- Conducted in a trauma care center in India, the prospective study analyzed 18 cases of unstable FSI over four years, focusing on functional recovery after surgical treatment.
- Results showed successful healing of fractures and positive functional outcomes, with 72.22% of patients achieving good to excellent results, demonstrating that early surgical intervention enhances rehabilitation and recovery.
