An Analysis of Adult Patient Risk Factors and Complications Within 30 Days After Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
TL;DR: Shoulder arthroscopy has a 1.0% thirty-day complication rate, with the most common complication being return to the operating room, and age older than 60 years, surgical time greater than 90 minutes, COPD, inpatient status, disseminated cancer, and current smoking all increased a patient's risk of complications.

Robert Thorsness,Christopher English,Jonathan Gross,Wakenda K. Tyler,Ilya Voloshin,John T. Gorczyca +5 more
TL;DR: Clinical suspicion of this vascular injury in patients with proximal humerus fracture dislocations and surgical neck fractures with shaft medialization is heightened and pathogenesis is reviewed to review pathogenesis and guide management decisions.

Patient factors influencing return to work and cumulative financial claims after clavicle fractures in workers' compensation cases.
TL;DR: Workers' compensation patients treated for clavicle fractures return to work at roughly the same time whether they are treated surgically or nonoperatively, with surgery being roughly 3 times more expensive.

Cost Drivers After Surgical Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures in Medicare Patients.
TL;DR: The acute inpatient period costs may be decreased with ORIF in appropriately selected patients with proximal humerus fractures in comparison with hemiarthroplasty, providing real world cost estimates with the cost implications of complications, readmissions, and procedure choice.

TL;DR: After simultaneous arthroscopic repair of the RC and a Bankart lesion in patients after shoulder dislocations, the affected extremity had similar functional outcomes compared to the noninjured, asymptomatic side at a mean of 3 years after surgery.
