Return to Play After Shoulder Replacement Surgery: What Is Realistic and What Does the Evidence Tell Us. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • This article analyzes the available literature regarding return to sport following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). It examines the quality of the available evidence and areas of future research. Most patients are able to return to preoperative sport activities following TSA, RTSA, and HA. The rates of return for TSA are slightly higher than those reported for HA and RTSA. Patients may be counseled that noncontact, low-demand activities have higher return rates. Most patients can expect to return to sports within 6 months postoperatively.
