Aims. The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of social deprivation on the rate of complications, readmissions, and revisions following primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), using the Social Deprivation Index (SDI). The SDI is a composite measurement, in percentages, of seven demographic characteristics: living in poverty, with < 12 years of education, single-parent households, living in rented or overcrowded housing, households without a car, and unemployed adults aged < 65 years. Methods. Patients aged ≥ 40 years, who underwent primary TSA between 2011 and 2017, were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 Clinical Modification and ICD-10 procedure codes for TSA in the New York Statewide
Aims. The factors that predispose to recurrent instability and revision
stabilization procedures after arthroscopic Bankart repair for anterior
glenohumeral instability remain unclear. We sought to determine
the rate and risk factors associated with ongoing instability in
patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair for instability
of the shoulder. Materials and Methods. We used the Statewide
