MOON Shoulder Instability Research Project Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) Shoulder Instability Study

Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) Shoulder Instability Study is a prospective, multicenter trial hoping to learn the predictors for both excellent and poor function after surgery for shoulder instability. We have 13 participating sites:

University of Iowa (coordinating center)
University of Michigan
Hospital for Special Surgery
The Ohio State
University of Pennsylvania
University of

San Francisco
University of Colorado
Vanderbilt University
Orthopaedic Institute (South Dakota)
Washington University
University of Wisconsin

The following surgeons have enrolled at least 5 patients in the study: Keith Baumgarten, Brian Wolf, Julie Bishop, Bruce Miller, Robert Brophy, Ben Ma, Eric McCarty, Grant Jones, Matt Bollier, Carolyn Hettrich, Matt Smith, Robert Marx, Jonathan Bravman, Brian Feeley, Brian Sennett, Jed Kuhn, Rick Wright, John Kelly, Charlie Cox, Alan Zhang, James Carpenter, Jim Carey
