Complication, revision, and readmission rates following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in wheelchair-dependent patients

Wheelchair-dependent patients undergoing rTSA experience significantly higher early complication and ED visit rates, though 2-year revision rates appear similar. These findings highlight the unique mechanical and functional challenges faced by wheelchair users, underscoring the importance of specialized perioperative care and rehabilitation strategies in this high-demand population.

Abstract

Wheelchair-dependent patients undergoing rTSA experience significantly higher early complication and ED visit rates, though 2-year revision rates appear similar. These findings highlight the unique mechanical and functional challenges faced by wheelchair users, underscoring the importance of specialized perioperative care and rehabilitation strategies in this high-demand population.
