However, like all arthroplasties, a post-surgical complication often arises. One of these complications, periprosthetic dislocation (PPD), requires revision and poses, therefore, a burden on both patients and healthcare providers. While PPD is understood to be a complication of RSA, it is unclear to what extent certain risk factors and co-morbidities predispose patients to post-RSA PPD. The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate the impact of specific risk factors and co-morbidities that contribute to the development of PPD following RSA.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this retrospective study, we used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016-2019 to analyze the prevalence and impact of various risk factors and co-morbidities on the incidence of PPD following RSA.
