Abstract
Aims Shoulder arthroplasty is effective in the management of end-stage glenohumeral joint arthritis. However, it is major surgery and patients must balance multiple factors when considering the procedure. An understanding of patients' decision-making processes may facilitate greater support of those considering shoulder arthroplasty and inform the outcomes of future research. Methods Participants were recruited from waiting lists of three consultant upper limb surgeons across two NHS hospitals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants who were awaiting elective shoulder arthroplasty. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Systematic coding was performed; initial codes were categorized and further developed into summary narratives through a process of discussion and refinement. Data collection and analyses continued until thematic saturation was reached. Results Two overall categories emerged: the motivations to consider surgery, and the information participants used to inform their decision-making. Motivations were, broadly, the relief of pain and the opportunity to get on with life and regain independence. When participants' symptoms and restrictions prevented them enjoying life to a sufficient extent, this provided the motivation to proceed with surgery. Younger participants tended to focus on maintaining employment and recreational activities, and older patients were eager to make the most of their remaining lifetime. Participants gathered information from a range of sources and were keen to optimize their recovery where possible. An important factor for participants was whether they trusted their surgeon and were prepared to delegate responsibility for elements of their care. Conclusion Relief of pain and the opportunity to get on with life were the primary reasons to undergo shoulder arthroplasty. Participants highlighted the importance of the patient-surgeon relationship and the need for accurate information in an accessible format which is relevant to people of different ages and functional demands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE International variation exists in the types of shoulder replacement used for treatment of specific diseases. Implant choice continues to evolve without high-quality evidence. Our aim was to evaluate trends in incidence rates of shoulder replacement and assess any recent changes in practice between countries by using registry data. METHODS Patient characteristics, indication and year of surgery, type of replacement, and collection methods of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) was extracted from 11 public joint registries. Meta-analyses examined use of reverse total shoulder replacement (RTSR) for osteoarthritis, cuff tear arthropathy, and acute fracture; use of anatomical total shoulder replacement (TSR) for osteoarthritis; and use of humeral hemiarthroplasty for fracture. RESULTS The annual growth rate of shoulder replacements performed is 6-15% (2011-2019). The use of RTSR has almost doubled (93%). RTSR is now universally performed for cuff tear arthropathy (97.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 96.0-98.1). Its use for avascular necrosis, trauma, and inflammatory arthropathy is increasing. The use of RTSR was similar (43.1%, CI 30.0-57.2) versus TSR (44.7%, CI 31.1-59.1) for osteoarthritis. The types of PROMs used, collection time points, and response rates lack standardization. COVID-19 had a varying inter-registry impact on incidence rates. CONCLUSION The incidence of shoulder replacements has grown. Use of RTSR has increased for all disease indications despite limited high-quality evidence driving this change in indications outside of cuff arthropathy. Consequently, less variation is observed in international practice. Existing differences now relate to use of newer implant types and methodology of PROMs collection, which prevents international comparison and outcome analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The indication for shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty is controversial, and survival of these implants is somewhat inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term survivorship of resurfacing humeral head implants (RHHIs) and determine risk factors for complications and revisions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study consisted of 275 cases and two types of RHHIs. The survival rate was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression for risk factor analysis. Demographic factors were studied, and the change in the humerus centre of rotation (COR) was measured. RESULTS The mean follow-up time was 8.7 years (SD 2.7 months, range 2.8-15.9 years). The mean age of the patients was 67.6 years (SD 9.6, range 33.5-84.9). Ten-year cumulative RHHI survival was 94.1%. The cumulative estimate without any complication was 98.9% at 5 years, 80.0% at 10 years and at 15 years it was 61.5%. The most common complication was persistent pain in 13.8% of the RHHIs. The risk factors for complications and revisions were implant type, preoperative conditions and change of COR > 5 mm. CONCLUSIONS RRHIs showed excellent long-term survival, but many complications were found. The most common complication was persistent pain, which seemed to be caused by a change of COR and was more related to one type of implant.

Hallucination Rates and Reference Accuracy of ChatGPT and Bard for Systematic Reviews: Comparative Analysis. J Med Internet Res 2024; 26:e53164.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large language models (LLMs) have raised both interest and concern in the academic community. They offer the potential for automating literature search and synthesis for systematic reviews but raise concerns regarding their reliability, as the tendency to generate unsupported (hallucinated) content persist. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to assess the performance of LLMs such as ChatGPT and Bard (subsequently rebranded Gemini) to produce references in the context of scientific writing. METHODS The performance of ChatGPT and Bard in replicating the results of human-conducted systematic reviews was assessed. Using systematic reviews pertaining to shoulder rotator cuff pathology, these LLMs were tested by providing the same inclusion criteria and comparing the results with original systematic review references, serving as gold standards. The study used 3 key performance metrics: recall, precision, and F1-score, alongside the hallucination rate. Papers were considered "hallucinated" if any 2 of the following information were wrong: title, first author, or year of publication. RESULTS In total, 11 systematic reviews across 4 fields yielded 33 prompts to LLMs (3 LLMs×11 reviews), with 471 references analyzed. Precision rates for GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Bard were 9.4% (13/139), 13.4% (16/119), and 0% (0/104) respectively (P<.001). Recall rates were 11.9% (13/109) for GPT-3.5 and 13.7% (15/109) for GPT-4, with Bard failing to retrieve any relevant papers (P<.001). Hallucination rates stood at 39.6% (55/139) for GPT-3.5, 28.6% (34/119) for GPT-4, and 91.4% (95/104) for Bard (P<.001). Further analysis of nonhallucinated papers retrieved by GPT models revealed significant differences in identifying various criteria, such as randomized studies, participant criteria, and intervention criteria. The study also noted the geographical and open-access biases in the papers retrieved by the LLMs. CONCLUSIONS Given their current performance, it is not recommended for LLMs to be deployed as the primary or exclusive tool for conducting systematic reviews. Any references generated by such models warrant thorough validation by researchers. The high occurrence of hallucinations in LLMs highlights the necessity for refining their training and functionality before confidently using them for rigorous academic purposes.

Abstract
Shoulder arthroplasty has significantly gained popularity in orthopedic surgery, driven by progress in prosthesis design and surgical techniques. This study explored the epidemiology of shoulder arthroplasty, analyzing healthcare data from 2012 to 2022 for primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder. The data included patient demographics and types of surgical procedures. Data analysis indicates a higher utilization rate of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA; n = 41,251) over total- (TSA; n = 18,679) and hemiarthroplasty (HSA; n = 12,827) for primary shoulder osteoarthritis. Overall, a significant increase in RTSA procedures from n = 2237 (2012) to n = 5415 (2022) was observed, representing more than a two-fold increase of 121.1%. The relative proportion of RTSA among all types of shoulder arthroplasty increased from 39% (2012) to 68.6% (2022), while HSA decreased and TSA essentially remained constant. Age analysis identified the following peaks: RTSA, 77 ± 7 y; HSA, 68 ± 12 y; and TSA, 67 ± 10 y. Among the over 60s, significantly more women were treated with any type of prosthesis, whereas in young patients (45 to 59 y), more men received HSA or TSA. Our study confirms that RTSA has become the preferred choice for elderly patients in Germany, reflecting the prevailing preference despite varying patient ages and conditions, with a noted difference in sex in treatment prevalence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To answer a national research priority by comparing the risk-benefit and costs associated with reverse total shoulder replacement (RTSR) and anatomical total shoulder replacement (TSR) in patients having elective primary shoulder replacement for osteoarthritis. DESIGN Population based cohort study using data from the National Joint Registry and Hospital Episode Statistics for England. SETTING Public hospitals and publicly funded procedures at private hospitals in England, 2012-20. PARTICIPANTS Adults aged 60 years or older who underwent RTSR or TSR for osteoarthritis with intact rotator cuff tendons. Patients were identified from the National Joint Registry and linked to NHS Hospital Episode Statistics and civil registration mortality data. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting were used to balance the study groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The main outcome measure was revision surgery. Secondary outcome measures included serious adverse events within 90 days, reoperations within 12 months, prolonged hospital stay (more than three nights), change in Oxford Shoulder Score (preoperative to six month postoperative), and lifetime costs to the healthcare service. RESULTS The propensity score matched population comprised 7124 RTSR or TSR procedures (126 were revised), and the inverse probability of treatment weighted population comprised 12 968 procedures (294 were revised) with a maximum follow-up of 8.75 years. RTSR had a reduced hazard ratio of revision in the first three years (hazard ratio local minimum 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0.18 to 0.59) with no clinically important difference in revision-free restricted mean survival time, and a reduced relative risk of reoperations at 12 months (odds ratio 0.45, 95% confidence interval 0.25 to 0.83) with an absolute risk difference of -0.51% (95% confidence interval -0.89 to -0.13). Serious adverse events and prolonged hospital stay risks, change in Oxford Shoulder Score, and modelled mean lifetime costs were similar. Outcomes remained consistent after weighting. CONCLUSIONS This study's findings provide reassurance that RTSR is an acceptable alternative to TSR for patients aged 60 years or older with osteoarthritis and intact rotator cuff tendons. Despite a significant difference in the risk profiles of revision surgery over time, no statistically significant and clinically important differences between RTSR and TSR were found in terms of long term revision surgery, serious adverse events, reoperations, prolonged hospital stay, or lifetime healthcare costs.

Acta Orthop 2024; 95:73-85. [PMID: 38289339 PMCID: PMC10828514 DOI: 10.2340/17453674.2024.39916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) are used in the management of osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. We aimed to determine whether TSA or HA resulted in a lower risk of adverse outcomes in patients of all ages with osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff and in a subgroup of patients aged 60 years or younger. PATIENTS AND METHODS Shoulder arthroplasties recorded in the National Joint Registry, UK, between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2021, were linked to Hospital Episode Statistics in England. Elective TSAs and HAs were matched on propensity scores based on 11 variables. The primary outcome was all-cause revision. Secondary outcomes were combined revision/non-revision reoperations, 30-day inpatient complications, 1-year mortality, and length of stay. 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS 11,556 shoulder arthroplasties were included: 7,641 TSAs, 3,915 HAs. At 8 years 95% (CI 94-96) of TSAs and 91% (CI 90-92) of HAs remained unrevised. The hazard ratio (HR) varied across follow-up: 4-year HR 2.7 (CI 1.9-3.5), 8-year HR 2.0 (CI 0.5-3.5). Rotator cuff insufficiency was the most common revision indication. In patients aged 60 years or younger prosthesis survival at 8 years was 92% (CI 89-94) following TSA and 84% (CI 80-87) following HA. CONCLUSION The risk of revision was higher following HA in patients with osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff. Patients aged 60 years and younger had a higher risk of revision following HA.

Abstract
Advances in single-cell technologies have transformed the ability to identify the individual cell types present within tissues and organs. The musculoskeletal bionetwork, part of the wider Human Cell Atlas project, aims to create a detailed map of the healthy musculoskeletal system at a single-cell resolution throughout tissue development and across the human lifespan, with complementary generation of data from diseased tissues. Given the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, this detailed reference dataset will be critical to understanding normal musculoskeletal function in growth, homeostasis and ageing. The endeavour will also help to identify the cellular basis for disease and lay the foundations for novel therapeutic approaches to treating diseases of the joints, soft tissues and bone. Here, we present a Roadmap delineating the critical steps required to construct the first draft of a human musculoskeletal cell atlas. We describe the key challenges involved in mapping the extracellular matrix-rich, but cell-poor, tissues of the musculoskeletal system, outline early milestones that have been achieved and describe the vision and directions for a comprehensive musculoskeletal cell atlas. By embracing cutting-edge technologies, integrating diverse datasets and fostering international collaborations, this endeavour has the potential to drive transformative changes in musculoskeletal medicine.

Abstract
Glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) is a widely prevalent disease with increasing frequency due to population aging. Both clinical manifestations and radiography play key roles in the initial diagnosis, staging, and management decisions. Radiographic disease progression evaluation is performed using validated staging systems, such as Kellgren and Lawrence, Samilson, and Hamada. For young patients with mild to moderate GHOA and failed conservative treatment, arthroscopic preservation surgery (APS) is usually considered. Older patients and those with severe GHOA benefit from different types of arthroplasties. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for APS surgical planning, as it maps repairable labral, cartilage, and rotator cuff lesions. For arthroplasty planning, the status of glenoid cartilage and intactness of rotator cuff as well as glenoid morphology represent key factors guiding the decision regarding the most suitable hardware design, whether resurfacing, partial, total, or reverse joint replacement. Pre-surgical MRI or alternatively computed tomography arthrogram is employed to evaluate the cartilage and rotator cuff. Finally, three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) is indicated to optimally assess the glenoid morphology (to determine Walch classification, version, inclination, and bone loss) and analyze the necessity for glenoid osteotomy or graft augmentation to correct the glenoid structural abnormalities for future success and longevity of the shoulder implants or chosen constructs. Understanding the purpose of each imaging and treatment modality allows more efficient image interpretation. This article reviews the above concepts and details what a surgeon needs from a radiologist and could benefit from accurate reporting of preoperative imaging studies.

Comparing Outcomes After Referral to Physical Therapy for Patients With Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis Based on the Radiographic Osteoarthritis Severity: A Retrospective Analysis. Cureus 2023; 15:e43027. [PMID: 37674967 PMCID: PMC10479957 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.43027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) that can frequently lead to pain and functional disability in patients throughout the world. GHOA can be managed with conservative or surgical interventions, although conservative interventions, such as physical therapy (PT), are generally first-line interventions depending on the severity of GHOA. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to examine how conventional PT impacts outcomes for patients with GHOA based on the severity of radiographic GHOA findings. Methods This study is a retrospective chart review of patients who were referred to PT for MSP and received PT in the outpatient setting between 2016 and 2022. Inclusion criteria were patients who received PT in the outpatient setting, received PT for MSP, had shoulder radiograph imaging within two years of initial PT evaluation, had more than one PT visit (i.e. attended a follow-up session after initial evaluation), and did not have a history of shoulder surgery. Primary outcome measures were pain, abduction active range-of-motion (AROM), and disability via the quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH). Patients were divided into the No GHOA group (n=104), Mild GHOA group (n=61), and Moderate/Severe GHOA group (n=55) based on the radiographic GHOA severity. Results All included patients (n=220) had a mean age of 62.2 ± 12.4 years old with a mean number of PT visits of 7.8 ± 4.5 visits. There was initially a significant difference in the magnitude of pain improvement between the three groups based on radiographic severity of GHOA (Kruskal-Wallis H=6.038; p=0.049); however, post hoc testing revealed no significant difference between any of the three groups for pain improvement (p=0.061 to p=1.000). There was also no significant difference in the magnitude of abduction AROM improvement between the three groups based on the radiographic severity of GHOA (Kruskal-Wallis H=2.887; p=0.236). Finally, there was no significant difference in the magnitude of disability improvement via the Quick DASH between the three groups based on the radiographic severity of GHOA (Kruskal-Wallis H=0.156; p=0.925). Conclusion Patients with GHOA referred to PT experience small but statistically significant short-term improvements in pain, abduction AROM, and disability regardless of GHOA radiographic severity. There is no significant association between the magnitude of clinical improvement and the severity of radiographic GHOA. However, despite statistically significant improvements in pain, only patients with mild GHOA experienced clinically significant improvements in pain. Patients with GHOA, regardless of severity, may or may not experience clinically significant improvements in disability after PT.

[PMID: 36180858 PMCID: PMC9526311 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05849-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Shoulder replacement (SR) constitutes the gold standard treatment for severe shoulder diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, complex fractures, avascular necrosis and rotator cuff arthropathy. Although several countries have national registries, there is a lack of epidemiological data on SR. Sharing national statistics and correlating those to other countries could be helpful to compare outcomes and costs internationally. This paper aims to evaluate the trend of hospitalizations for SR (both first implants and revisions of anatomical and reverse prosthesis) in Italy from 2009 to 2019, based on the National Hospital Discharge Reports (S.D.O) provided by the Italian National Health Service (INHS). Moreover, the economic impact on the healthcare system of SR and SR revisions was assessed, providing a statistical prediction for the next ten years. Methods The data used in this paper were about patients who underwent Total Shoulder Replacement (TSR), Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty (SH) or Revision of shoulder joint replacement (RSR) from 2009 to 2019 in Italy. Information about patients was anonymous and included age, sex, days of hospitalization, procedures and diagnoses codes. Results From 2009 to 2019, 73,046 TSR and SH were performed in adult Italian residents, with a cumulative incidence of 13.6 cases per 100,000 adult Italian residents. While, 2,129 revisions of shoulder replacement were performed, with a cumulative incidence of 0.4 cases per 100,000 residents. Overall, females represented the majority of the cases (72.4% of patients who underwent TSR or SH and 59.1% of patients who underwent RSR). From 2009 to 2019, has been assessed an overall cost of 625,638,990€ for TSR or SH procedures in Italy. While, an overall cost of 9,855,141€ for RSR procedures in Italy was calculated. Conclusions The incidence of SR and RSR is expected to increase in the following years, constituting a burden for the healthcare systems. Overall, in Italy, the females represented the majority of patients. Further prospective studies on this topic in different countries can be con-ducted to make comparisons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and shoulder exercises are both effective treatments for reducing pain and improving function in glenohumeral osteoarthritis. However, the effectiveness of TSA has not been compared with non-surgical treatment in a randomized controlled trial. We will examine whether TSA followed bystandard postsurgical rehabilitation is superior to a 12-week exercise program in patients with primary glenohumeral OA who are eligible for unilateral TSA. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this Nordic multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial, patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis eligible for TSA will be allocated to either TSA followed by usual care or exercise only. The exercise intervention comprises 12 weeks of exercise with one weekly physiotherapist-supervised session. Based on the sample size calculation, the trial needs to include 102 patients. Duration and outcome: Recruitment was initiated in April 2021 and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2024. Primary outcome is patient-reported quality of life, measured as total WOOS score 12 months after initiation of treatment. The key secondary outcomes include patient-reported pain intensity at rest and during activity; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score (DASH); the use of analgesics during the previous week; and adverse events. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial is approved by the Central Denmark Region Committee on Biomedical Research Ethics (Journal No 1-10-72-29-21) and by the Danish Data Protection Agency (Journal No 1-16-02-199-21). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04845074.

Abstract
Background Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for multiple shoulder pathologies. The purpose of our study was to compare the relative value units (RVUs) per minute of surgical time for primary and revision TSA. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify patients that underwent primary TSA, one-component revision TSA, and two-component revision TSA between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 using current procedure terminology codes. RVUs were divided by mean operative time for each procedure to determine the amount of revenue generated per minute. Rates were compared between the groups using a one-way analysis of variance with post-hoc Tukey test. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results When dividing compensation by surgical time, we found that two-component revision generated more compensation per minute compared to primary TSA (0.284±0.114 vs. 0.239±0.278 RVU per minute or $10.25±$4.11 vs. $8.64±$10.05 per minute, respectively; p=0.001). Conclusions The relative value of revision TSA procedures is weighted to account for the increased technical challenges and time associated with these procedures. This study confirms that reimbursement is higher for revision TSA compared to primary TSA.

Abstract
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become an optimal treatment for numerous orthopedic entities, such as rotator cuff tear arthropathies, pseudoparalysis, fracture sequelae, acute fractures, failed arthroplasties, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, and is linked with relief of topical pain and regaining of functionality. Presently, RSA has been conducted through anterosuperior (AS) or deltopectoral (DP) approach. The aim of the study was to discuss both approaches and to examine broadly their features to render a comparison in terms of clinical effectiveness. An electronic search in PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases was performed, using combinations of the following keywords: RSA, DP approach, AS approach, notching, and cuff tear arthropathy. A total of 61 studies were found, and 16 relevant articles were eventually included. Currently published literature has not shown significant diversities in the clinical course due to approach preference; risk of instability seems to be greater in DP approach, while regarding scapular notching and fracture rates the findings were conflicted. In addition, the AS approach has been associated with decreased risk of acromial and scapular spine fractures. In conclusion, both surgical approaches have shown similar clinical outcomes and effectiveness concerning pain and restoring range of motion (ROM) in rotator cuff tear arthropathies. In the future, further investigations based on large-scale well-designed studies are required to address clinical gaps allowing in-depth comparison of both approaches.

Abstract
Introduction Studies have shown that the use of total shoulder arthroplasty is increasing every year in the United Stated at a rate higher than that of total hip or total knee arthroplasty. As the population of the United States continues to age, it is becoming more important for surgeons to understand the true impact of age on outcomes and complications following procedures such a total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine if octogenarians have poorer outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty compared to a younger, matched control group. Methods Data was obtained through the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (ACS NSQIP). Patients who had undergone total shoulder arthroplasty were identified by Current Procedural Terminology code (23472). Indication for arthroplasty was determined by ICD9/10 code (osteoarthritis, fracture, other). Each octogenarian was matched 1:1 to a non-octogenarian based on sex, BMI, ASA class, medical comorbidities, functional status, and surgical indication for arthroplasty by propensity scoring. A subgroup analysis was performed to compare outcomes between only those patients who underwent TSA for osteoarthritis.Outcomes of interest were assessed between the two groups for statistical significance using a chi-squared test or fisher exact test for expected values of less than 5. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results After matching, octogenarians were found to be at higher risk of readmission (4.7% vs. 3.3%, p=0.046), non-home discharge (27.1% vs. 9.4%, p<0.001), and overall surgical (4.4% vs. 2.5%, p=0.006) and medical complications (3.7% vs. 2.4%, p=0.039). In the setting of TSA for osteoarthritis only, however, octogenarians were only at higher risk for non-home discharge (22.4% vs. 7.5%, p<0.001). Conclusions Octogenarians are at higher risk of some complications following total shoulder arthroplasty but fewer than has been previously reported, particularly in the setting of arthroplasty for the treatment of arthritis.

Abstract
Arthroplasty of the shoulder joint leads to excellent clinical results if the indications are valid and the implantation is technically correct. Taking anatomical requirements and mechanical functions as well as material properties and developments in surgical techniques into account, articulations and anchoring systems have been developed which, as modular systems enable successful restoration of the biomechanics and consider the importance of the surrounding soft tissues. Scientific data show promising medium-term and long-term results in terms of functionality and pain reduction. Nevertheless, due to the limited bone stock for implant anchoring, especially loosening of the prosthesis or instability of the glenoid joint component, revision arthroplasty remains challenging. This review article summarizes the relevant aspects of shoulder arthroplasty.
