This study analyzed 145 shoulder arthroplasties, finding trauma sequels, degenerative diseases, and fractures as primary indications. Early postoperative complications were observed, highlighting the importance of surgical records for shoulder arthroplasty outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Shoulder arthroplasty is an increasingly common orthopaedic procedure.
- Evaluating patient characteristics and surgical outcomes is crucial for advancing the field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To characterize patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty between July 2004 and November 2006.
- To identify common indications and early postoperative complications associated with shoulder arthroplasty.
Main Methods:
- Prospective data collection for 145 shoulder arthroplasty patients.
- Categorization of patients into groups: fractures, degenerative diseases, and trauma sequels.
- Correlation of demographic, clinical, and surgical data to establish patient profiles.
Main Results:
- Indications included trauma sequels (37%), degenerative diseases (30%), and proximal humerus fractures (33%).
- Total arthroplasties accounted for 12% of cases, while partial arthroplasties comprised 88%.
- Five major early postoperative complications were documented.
Conclusions:
- Shoulder arthroplasty is a prevalent surgical intervention in orthopaedics.
- Comprehensive surgical records are vital for tracking procedural evolution and assessing future clinical outcomes.
