There has been an increase in the number of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) revisions performed as the number of primary surgeries increases rapidly. Revision procedures have a higher failure rate and there is a lack of understanding of patient risk factors for needing another repeat surgery following revision TSA.
Methods
Revision patients were separated into two cohorts: those needing an unplanned reoperation and those that did not within 30 days following revision TSA. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify independent risk factors for an unplanned reoperation.
Results
1909 revision TSA patients were included in the final analysis. Sixty-nine of these patients underwent an unplanned reoperation within 30 days and 1840 did not. Multivariate logistic regression analyses found an ASA class of III or IV, male sex, congestive heart failure, and inpatient setting to be independent risk factors.
Conclusion
3.6% of revision TSA patients require an unplanned reoperation within 30 days postoperatively. An ASA class of III or IV, male sex, congestive heart failure, and inpatient setting were found to be independent risk factors for early reoperation. Surgeons should be aware of these risks to improve preoperative patient optimization and guide shared decision making with patients considering revision.
