Summary

Single-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement offers superior outcomes compared to staged procedures. This approach leads to better functional recovery, reduced pain, and shorter hospital stays for patients with severe shoulder joint destruction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Severe bilateral glenohumeral joint destruction presents a significant challenge for patients.
  • Total shoulder replacement is a common treatment for advanced shoulder arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical outcomes of single-stage versus two-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement.
  • To evaluate functional recovery, pain reduction, strength, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparison of six patients undergoing single-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement.
  • Comparison with eight patients undergoing two-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement (mean interval 18 months).
  • Assessment of subjective shoulder value, Constant score, range of motion, strength, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • Both groups showed significant improvements in function, pain, and strength.
  • The single-stage group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in subjective shoulder value, relative Constant score, active external rotation, and strength.
  • Active elevation, abduction, and overall function improved significantly more in the single-stage group.
  • The single-stage group experienced substantially shorter hospitalisation and time off work per shoulder.
  • The overall complication rate was lower in the single-stage group.

Conclusions:

  • Single-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement yields superior clinical results compared to staged replacement.
  • This approach offers shorter hospitalisation and rehabilitation periods without increased complications.
  • Single-stage bilateral total shoulder replacement is a safe and effective option for severe bilateral glenohumeral joint destruction.
