Return to Outdoorsman Sports After Primary Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Participants had a 77% return to outdoorsman sports, such as fishing, shooting, archery, and rowing, with >50% doing so within 6 months of primary total shoulder arthroplasty. Respondents who participated in rowing and archery returned at lower rates compared with fishing and shooting, despite shooting's showing higher pain postoperatively. Activities entailing greater shoulder demands may hinder a patient's ability to return after arthroplasty.
