Recent published study in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery from Dr Griffin and colleagues!
Recent published study in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery from Dr Griffin and colleagues! There is an increasing number of shoulder arthroscopies performed each year. Until now, we were unsure how this may effect future shoulder surgeries, especially replacements. This study looks at this important question and showed that patients with a prior surgery had less overall improvement and lower final outcome scores than patients who had never had surgery before, which may help counsel and guide patient and surgeons in decision making.
