Advancements and considerations in outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty: Current practices and future directions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT: The landscape of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is rapidly evolving, with a significant shift toward outpatient procedures. This transition has been supported by enhanced recovery protocols and shorter hospital stays. Key factors for successful outpatient TSA include careful patient selection, focusing on individuals with minimal comorbidities, and preoperative optimization, such as patient education and mental health assessments. Intraoperative considerations like blood loss management, pain control, and surgical efficiency play a crucial role in ensuring positive outcomes. Although challenges remain, including patient selection bias and the need for standardized protocols, ongoing research, innovation in surgical practices, and integration of technology can further enhance the safety and effectiveness of outpatient TSA. Ultimately, with appropriate patient selection and optimization strategies, outpatient TSA can provide comparable outcomes to inpatient procedures, benefiting both patients and health care systems.
