Management of glenohumeral osteoarthritis in the younger patient: A population level analysis of usual care delivery in a large health system
Many patients received no interventions. For those receiving care, <50 % received guideline-recommended non-pharmacological care, including exercise therapy which significantly reduced the likelihood of surgery. Military patients had overall less pharmacological but more non-pharmacological treatment than non-military patients. A greater frequency of males had surgery. These findings indicate the need to further explore health care delivery for glenohumeral osteoarthritis in younger populations, highlighting potential guideline to practice gaps.
