Risk of Recurrent Instability After Arthroscopic Stabilization for Shoulder Instability in Adolescent Patients.

Background: With the rise of adolescent sports participation, there has been a concomitant increase in not only the incidence but also the treatment of traumatic shoulder instability. Yet, there have been limited data on the failure rates of arthroscopic shoulder stabilization in this population as well as the potential risk factors.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine the failure rates of adolescent patients who underwent arthroscopic labral reconstruction for traumatic anterior shoulder instability.

Outpatient Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Does Not Increase the 90-Day Risk of Complications Compared With Inpatient Surgery in Prescreened Patients.

Outpatient total joint arthroplasty is becoming a more attractive option for hospitals, surgeons, and patients. In this study, the authors evaluated the safety of outpatient shoulder arthroplasty by comparing an outpatient cohort with an inpatient cohort. Ninety-day outcomes of consecutively performed elective shoulder arthroplasty cases from 2012 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.
