Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is generally safe, but complications can occur. This study found an overall complication rate of 9.49% for arthroscopic and combined procedures, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a common orthopedic procedure.
  • While considered safe, potential complications exist.
  • Published data on the incidence of these complications is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the complication rate of arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
  • To assess complications in both purely arthroscopic and combined arthroscopic-open shoulder procedures.
  • To provide data on the safety profile of shoulder arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 179 consecutive shoulder procedures.
  • Procedures performed by a single surgeon.
  • Categorization into arthroscopic (n=141) and combined (n=38) groups.

Main Results:

  • Overall complication rate was 9.49%.
  • Combined procedures had a complication rate of 5.26%.
  • Arthroscopic procedures had a complication rate of 10.63%.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic shoulder surgery demonstrates a manageable complication rate.
  • Combined procedures showed a lower complication incidence compared to purely arthroscopic ones in this series.
  • Further research into risk factors and prevention strategies is warranted.
