Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Shoulder and elbow surgery has seen significant advancements over the last century.
  • Current technical progress allows for operative treatment of a wide range of shoulder and elbow conditions.
  • Sophisticated surgical techniques are now available for complex orthopedic issues.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state and advancements in shoulder and elbow surgery.
  • To discuss the efficacy and indications of various surgical procedures.
  • To highlight the technical standards and outcomes in shoulder and elbow joint replacement and repair.

Summary:

  • Shoulder arthroplasty effectively treats degenerative omarthrosis, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, and rotator cuff arthropathy, with high survival rates and good outcomes.
  • Open surgery remains the gold standard for recurrent shoulder instability, while arthroscopic techniques for capsular shortening are under investigation.
  • Arthroscopic subacromial decompression is standard for subacromial disorders, and rotator cuff repair indications are tailored to patient factors. Proximal humerus fractures present surgical challenges.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast is preferred for shoulder imaging. Elbow joint replacement is highly developed, particularly for rheumatoid arthritis.

Impact:

  • Improved patient outcomes and functional restoration for shoulder and elbow disorders.
  • Established benchmarks for surgical success and survival rates in shoulder arthroplasty.
  • Guidance on selecting appropriate surgical techniques based on patient-specific factors and condition severity.
