Shoulder Replacement

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty in patients younger than 65 years, minimum 5-year follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Indications for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are expanding, and more young patients are undergoing RTSA. Younger patients are expected to place increased functional demands on their shoulder, which may affect implant performance and longevity. Reports on longer-term outcomes in young patients remain limited. This study evaluates the minimum 5-year functional outcomes of RTSA in patients younger than 65 years.

Outcomes and Survivorship Following Arthroscopic Treatment of Glenohumeral Arthritis: A Systematic Review.

PURPOSE:To perform a systematic review of the literature describing outcomes, surgical procedures, and rates of arthroplasty conversion following arthroscopic debridement of symptomatic primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).

The Role of Arthroscopy in Painful Shoulder Arthroplasty: Is Revision Always Necessary?

PURPOSE:To determine if arthroscopy is an effective means to diagnose and treat postoperative pain in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) patients.
