Outpatient shoulder arthroplasty: outcomes, complications, and readmissions in 2 outpatient settings

There is currently a paucity of non-database studies looking at safety and outcomes after outpatient shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to report our initial safety experience with outpatient shoulder arthroplasty including 90-day complications and readmissions. Our hypothesis was that the rate of early complications after outpatient shoulder arthroplasty would be low and similar to that of inpatient procedures regardless of outpatient setting.
