Smoking cessation prior to total shoulder arthroplasty: A systematic review of outcomes and complications.

Background: We conducted a review of current literature to examine the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on shoulder arthroplasty surgery.

Methods: A literature search was performed using the search terms "shoulder arthroplasty AND [smoke OR smoking OR tobacco OR nicotine]." Studies included English-language clinical outcomes studies on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse TSA, and partial shoulder arthroplasty with evidence levels 1 through 4.
