Complication rates after shoulder arthroplasty in patients aged 45 years and younger
Younger patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty have an acceptable complication profile, but a relatively high risk of reoperation. Glenoid component loosening occurred only in the TSA, with a 3% revision rate. All arthroplasty types showed significant improvements in ROM, pain levels, and function, indicating that patients benefit from the procedure. Nevertheless, the relatively high complication and reoperation rates for all three types of arthroplasty should be taken into account when considering shoulder replacement in those patients.
