Shoulder Arthritis In Young Active Patients - What Are The Best Options? (2/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Brandon Erickson discusses arthroscopic management of shoulder arthritis in young patients. He mentions that while total shoulder arthroplasty is effective, it has a high risk of wearing out and needing revision surgery, especially in younger patients. He explores various arthroscopic treatment options, including joint lavage, removal of loose bodies, biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, and the CAM procedure. He highlights the importance of properly restoring the length-tension relationship of the biceps tendon during tenodesis and discusses how the CAM procedure can be beneficial in improving motion and reducing pain. Dr. Erickson explains that the success of the CAM procedure depends on factors such as the severity of arthritis and joint space. He also mentions that doing a CAM procedure prior to a total shoulder arthroplasty does not negatively impact the outcomes of the latter. Overall, Dr. Erickson emphasizes the goal of providing pain relief and improving function in young patients with shoulder arthritis.
