Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study on shoulder dislocations in older patients. They highlight that 20% of all first-time shoulder dislocations occur in patients over the age of 60, which can result in substantial morbidity. The study aims to describe the incidence of glenoid rim fractures in patients over 50, compare treatment strategies and outcomes between patients with and without these fractures, and identify risk factors for surgical management of the fractures. The study used the Rochester epidemiology database and found that approximately one in four patients had a glenoid rim fracture. Fragment size and BMI were identified as the main risk factors for surgery. Overall, the presence of a glenoid rim fracture did not predict worse outcomes.
