Background A number of papers have been published comparing the safety and efficacy of day case and inpatient anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date. The aim of this review was to determine if day case total shoulder arthroplasty (length of stay <24 h) leads to similar outcomes as standard-stay inpatients (length of stay ≥24 h). Methods The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviewers were queried for publications utilizing keywords that were pertinent to total shoulder arthroplasty, day case, outpatient and inpatient, clinical or functional outcomes, and complications. In order to determine the quantitative impact of day case total shoulder arthroplasty on readmission and revision rate, a meta-analysis was performed on articles that observed 30- or 90-day readmission or revision. Results Eight articles were found to be suitable for inclusion in the present study which included 6103 day case total shoulder arthroplasty and 147,463 inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty. Following meta-analysis, there was no significant difference among patients who underwent day case total shoulder arthroplasty compared to inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty regarding revision rates (OR: 1.001; 95% CI: 0.721–1.389; p = 0.995) and 30-day readmission rates (OR: 0.940; 95% CI: 0.723–1.223; p = 0.646). In contrast, patients who underwent day case total shoulder arthroplasty were less likely to have a readmission within 90 days compared to their inpatient counterparts (OR: 0.839; 95% CI: 0.704–0.999; p = 0.049). Two out of eight studies reported comparable baseline clinical characteristics among groups, while five studies reported significant differences and one study did not provide information regarding clinical characteristics, such as medical comorbidities or American Society of Anaesthesiologists'(ASA) score. No significant difference among groups was found in all or almost all studies regarding mortality rates, and rates of cardiac complications, cerebrovascular events, thromboembolic events, pulmonary complications, cardiac complications, and nerve complications. Finally, results were rather conflicting regarding the correlation of day case total shoulder arthroplasty to the rate of surgical site infections. Conclusions This study showed that day case total shoulder arthroplasty might lead to similar rates of mortality, complications, revisions, and readmissions compared to inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty when used in a selected population of younger, healthier, and more male patients. In contrast, there was no consensus regarding the impact of day case total shoulder arthroplasty on the rate of surgical site infections. Finally, further research of higher quality is required to establish patient demographic criteria, ASA score, or comorbidity index cut off that might be used to define day case-treated patients who seem to have equivalent outcomes compared to inpatient-treated patients.

Background Thus, the purpose of the present study was to (1) characterize common postoperative complications and (2) quantify the rates of revision in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty revisional surgery. We hypothesize that hardware loosenings will be the most common complication to occur in the sample, with the humeral component being the most common loosening. Methods This systematic review adhered to PRISMA reporting guideline. For our inclusion criteria, we included any study that contained intraoperative and/or postoperative complication data, and revision rates on patients who had undergone revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty due to a failed hemiarthroplasty. Complications include neurologic injury, deep surgical site infections, hardware loosening/prosthetic instability, and postoperative fractures (acromion, glenoid, and humeral fractures). Results The study contained 22 studies that assessed complications from shoulders that had revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty from a hemiarthroplasty, with a total sample of 925 shoulders. We found that the most common complication to occur was hardware loosenings (5.3%), and of the hardware loosenings, humeral loosenings (3.8%) were the most common. The revision rate was found to be 10.7%. Conclusion This systematic review found that revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for failed hemiarthroplasty has a high overall complication and reintervention rates, specifically for hardware loosening and revision rates.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the rate of return to sport in elderly patients who underwent anatomic (ATSA) and reverse (RTSA) total shoulder arthroplasty, to assess postoperative pain and functional outcomes and to give an overview of postoperative rehabilitation protocols. A systematic search in Pubmed-Medline, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was carried out to identify eligible randomized clinical trials, observational studies, or case series that evaluated the rate of return to sport after RTSA or ATSA. Six retrospective studies, five case series, and one prospective cohort study were included in this review. The overall rate of return to sport was 82% (95% CI 0.76–0.88, p < 0.01). Patients undergoing ATSA returned at a higher rate (90%) (95% CI 0.80–0.99, p < 0.01) compared to RTSA (77%) (95% CI 0.69–0.85, p < 0.01). Moreover, the results showed that patients returned to sport at the same or a higher level in 75% of cases. Swimming had the highest rate of return (84%), followed by fitness (77%), golf (77%), and tennis (69%). Thus, RTSA and ATSA are effective to guarantee a significative rate of return to sport in elderly patients. A slightly higher rate was found for the anatomic implant.

Reverse Total Shoulder

Despite rapid medical technology development, various challenges exist in three- and four-part proximal humeral fracture (PHF) management. This condition has led to a notably increased use of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA); however, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is still the most widely performed procedure. Thus, these two modalities are crucial and require further discussion. We aim to compare the outcomes of three- or four-part PHF surgeries using ORIF and RTSA based on direct/head-to-head comparative studies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the Cochrane handbook and PRISMA guidelines. We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Ovid), and CENTRAL (Cochrane Library) from inception to October 2020. Our protocol was registered at PROSPERO (registration number CRD42020214681). We assessed the individual study risk of bias using ROB 2 and ROBINS-I tools, then appraised our evidence using the GRADE approach. Six head-to-head comparative studies were included, comprising one RCT and five retrospective case-control studies. We found that RTSA significantly improved forward flexion but was comparable to ORIF in abduction (p = 0.03 and p = 0.47, respectively) and more inferior in external rotation (p < 0.0001). Moreover, RTSA improved the overall Constant-Murley score, but the difference was not significant (p = 0.22). Interestingly, RTSA increased complications (by 42%) but reduced the revision surgery rates (by 63%) compared to ORIF (p = 0.04 and p = 0.02, respectively). RTSA is recommended to treat patients aged 65 years or older with a three- or four-part PHF. Compared to ORIF, RTSA resulted in better forward flexion and Constant-Murley score, equal abduction, less external rotation, increased complications but fewer revision surgeries.

Introduction: Multiple randomized controlled trials have found that a conservative approach to transfusing critically ill patients reduces mortality, with current guidelines recommending a hemoglobin (HgB) transfusion threshold of 7 g/dL. However, little work has examined whether this transfusion threshold reduces mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Here, we present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science. Full-text articles were eligible if patients with TBI, defined as Glasgow Coma Score <= 8, were divided into multiple groups with varying hemoglobin transfusion thresholds and reported any outcome of interest including mortality, number of packed red blood cell (PRBC) units transfused, length of stay in ICU, and length of stay in the hospital. Eight studies were eligible (n = 3663). We compared mortality rates at HgB transfusion thresholds of < 7 g/dL, < 8 g/dL, < 9 g/dL, and < 10 g/dL. Results: We found that traditionally ‘conservative’ approaches to anemia management (HgB < 7 g/dL, < 8 g/dL, and < 9 g/dL) were associated with decreased mortality when compared to traditionally ‘liberal’ approaches (HgB < 10 g/dL), with p < 0.05. Results were robust across both frequentist and Bayesian analysis. As a surrogate for cost of care and use of hospital resources, the total number of PRBC units transfused to patients, length of stay in ICU, and length of stay in hospital were analyzed. We found that using a transfusion threshold < 7 g/dL compared to < 10 g/dL substantially decreased the number of PRBC units transfused. In three of five cohorts, the cohort with the lower HgB transfusion threshold or no transfusion had a significantly shorter length of stay in the ICU and in the hospital. The remaining two cohorts found no significant difference in the length of stays in ICU or hospital. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that conservative approaches to transfusions ( < 7 g/dL, < 8 g/dL, or < 9 g/dL) significantly reduce mortality and the number of PRBC units transfused when compared to more liberal approaches ( < 10 g/dL). Current evidence is unclear on the benefits of conservative approaches in reduction of ICU or hospital length of stay.
