Management of Shoulder Arthritis in the Young or High Demand Patient: Innovative Strategies in 2023

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses various treatment options for shoulder arthritis in younger patients. They emphasize the importance of non-operative management as the first-line treatment, including injections guided by ultrasound or needle arthroscopy. Newer injections like VSCO supplementation and biologics show promising results, although they are not FDA approved. Surgical options such as arthroscopic debridement and the CAM procedure have high short-term success rates, but the severity of arthritis affects the long-term outcomes. The debate between total shoulder and hemiarthroplasty is settled, with total shoulder being superior in patients under 60. Other techniques like inlay glenoid, augmented glenoids, and subscapularis repair show positive results and are considered the future of treatment.
