The use of tobacco is a modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes and readmissions after shoulder arthroplasty.

Aims: The impact of tobacco use on readmission and medical and surgical complications has been documented in hip and knee arthroplasty. However, there remains little information about the effect of smoking on the outcome after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We hypothesized that active smokers are at an increased risk of poor medical and surgial outcomes after TSA.
