Description
Summary:Background As total shoulder arthroplasty has emerged as the fastest growing joint replacement performed, optimizing surgical efficiency and patient outcomes is essential. The goals of the current study were to identify trends and factors affecting the operative time of total shoulder arthroplasty over a 10-year period. Methods The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed to determine the operative time and 30-day complications of total shoulder arthroplasty from 2008 to 2018. Factors affecting total shoulder arthroplasty operative time were also assessed. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze operative time over years studied while controlling for patient demographics and comorbidities. Results A total of 20,587 total shoulder arthroplasty cases from 2008 to 2018 were included. Mean operative time in 2008 was 139.0 min, while in 2018, mean operative time decreased to 105.6 min (P
