However, the correlation between preoperative determinants of health and postoperative TSA revisions remains underexplored. These correlations are scientifically important as they may be used to design higher-level clinical studies to confirm if they are in-fact predictive of revision. As such, this investigation aims to identify possible health and demographic disparities between primary TSA and revision TSA cohorts.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Data for this research was sourced from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2013 to 2021. Patients were classified based on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes into 2 groups: primary TSA (CPT: 23472) and revision TSA (CPT: 23473 or 23474). Nineteen demographic and preoperative variables were compared between the cohorts using multivariate logistic regression.

GA was associated with longer operative times compared to RA across various body mass index groups. GA was associated with longer LOS compared to RA. However, for all perioperative and short-term postoperative medical complications, patients undergoing TSA under RA had similar rates to GA patients. These findings can be used to guide clinical decision-making when selecting the appropriate anesthetic strategy for patients requiring elective primary TSA.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 2","pages":"Pages 451-456"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140089406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient demographics, glenoid morphology, body mass index (BMI), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and Simple Assessment Numeric Evaluation score were collected. Radiographic analysis of glenoid and humeral components was performed. Multivariable logistic, equal adjacent odds ordinal, and beta regression were respectively used to identify predictors of glenoid radiolucent lines, humeral calcar resorption, and total ASES score.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Patients were 43% female, with a mean age of 66, a median BMI of 30, and median follow-up of 28.4 months. ASES and Simple Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores improved by respective medians of 54.4 and 55.0 points, forward elevation by median 35°, and external rotation by median 30° (all <em>P</em> < .001 for preoperative to postoperative change). Postoperative radiographs of 177 cases showed 10 (5.7%) glenoid osteolysis, 51 (28.8%) glenoid radiolucent lines, and 81 (45.8%) calcar resorptions. The follow-up duration (median 40.1 vs. 27.2 months; <em>P</em> < .001), BMI (median 27.5 vs. 30.7; <em>P</em> < .001), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (Q3 0 vs. 1; <em>P</em> = .02) were associated with glenoid osteolysis in bivariate analyses. In multiple logistic regression, surgeon (C vs. A/B) was the only statistically significant predictor of glenoid radiolucent lines [OR 0.27, 95% CI (0.1, 0.8)]. By descending importance, Surgeon C [OR 6.5 (2.0, 20.5)], humeral canal filling ratio [upper vs. lower quartile OR 2.3 (1.3, 4.0)], mediolateral humeral head deviation [upper vs. lower quartile OR 1.9 (1.0, 3.5)], and glenoid osteolysis [OR 13.5 (2.6, 71.6)] significantly predicted greater calcar resorption. Longer follow-up duration marginally statistically significantly predicted lower ASES score [upper vs. lower quartile OR 0.8 (0.6, 1.0)].</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Following aTSA with a peripherally enhanced fixation glenoid, pain, range of motion, and patient-reported outcomes significantly improved at a minimum of 2 years with only 5.7% glenoid osteolysis despite heterogeneous preoperative glenoid pathologies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 3","pages":"Pages 533-544"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104545272400018X/pdfft?md5=5798049c015a5e8d3b97ebfeb7b800b4&pid=1-s2.0-S104545272400018X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142049863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
