Abstract
Purpose of review: This review aims to evaluate the current landscape of outpatient reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, as well as summarize protocols to facilitate safe and effective patient selection and implementation. It also aims to demystify cost and reimbursement concerns surrounding this topic.
Recent findings: Formal risk stratification, structured perioperative pathways, and proactive follow-up can make outpatient RTSA safe and highly effective. Medical comorbidity profile, age, social factors as well as non-medical barriers can all assist with decision making. Additionally, there are considerable cost savings that do not compromise outcomes or safety, which will drive more patients to receive outpatient RTSA. Caution should be exercised if considering RTSA for fracture as well as in a revision setting given the case unpredictability, anticipated blood loss and the possible need for a higher level of care. Further work is needed to standardize nomenclature in reporting care settings around outpatient RTSA. Outpatient RTSA can be safe and effective with careful patient selection.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of musculoskeletal medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert world-renowned authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of musculoskeletal-related conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as rehabilitation of the knee and hip, sports medicine, trauma, pediatrics, health policy, customization in arthroplasty, and rheumatology. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
