Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses two cases of shoulder arthritis in young patients. The first case is a 37-year-old woman who presents with right shoulder pain that is not responding to conservative treatments. She has limited range of motion and tenderness in the AC joint and biceps. The presenter suggests that arthroscopic treatment, such as joint lavage and biceps tenodesis, may be an option for her. The second case is a 43-year-old man who has a history of multiple failed arthroscopic procedures in both shoulders. He presents with bilateral shoulder pain and significant arthritic changes on x-ray. The presenter believes that a total shoulder arthroplasty is the best option for him. The presenter also discusses the role of steroid injections in treating arthritis and the success rates of different surgical options. Overall, the video emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment plans for young patients with shoulder arthritis. No credits were provided.
