Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the short- to mid-term outcomes of patients who underwent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) for severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) with an intact rotator cuff (RC) to a matched rotator cuff arthropathy (RCA) cohort.
Methods: Between 2004 and 2014, all patients who underwent RTSA for severe GHOA with a minimum 2-year follow-up were identified. Demographic and baseline variables were extracted from the medical records.
Background: There is currently a paucity of non-database studies looking at safety and outcomes after outpatient shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to report our initial safety experience with outpatient shoulder arthroplasty including 90-day complications and readmissions. Our hypothesis was that the rate of early complications after outpatient shoulder arthroplasty would be low and similar to that of inpatient procedures regardless of outpatient setting.
