Risk factors associated with pain while sleeping on the affected shoulder after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Tobacco use, higher preoperative pain levels, and previous shoulder surgery were negatively associated with satisfactory improvement in pain while lying on the postoperative shoulder. In contrast, subscapularis repair was associated with clinically significant improvements. Given that postoperative pain when lying on the operative side is a frequent preoperative question, understanding these influencing factors is useful when counseling patients on postoperative expectations. Level of evidence: III.
