Serious adverse events, readmission, and mortality after shoulder replacement due to fracture, osteoarthritis, and other indications: a population-based comparison with the general population
At 30 and 90 days after surgery, shoulder patients, regardless of surgical indications, had higher rates of SAEs than the matched cohort. The mortality rate was higher for shoulder patients and highest for fracture patients. This information should be included in the shared decision-making process before undergoing shoulder replacement.
