Perioperative Pain Management for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Pilot Non-Inferiority Trial
Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a common and effective treatment for end-stage shoulder pathologies. Over the past 25 years, implant designs have evolved and the indications for joint replacement have expanded significantly to include arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, complex shoulder trauma and trauma sequelae. This has resulted in a worldwide increase in rates of shoulder replacement surgery. The concomitant increased treatment burden for health care systems has prompted interest in strategies to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of patient care such as streamlining intraoperative procedures, mitigating complications, and reducing length of stay by providing outpatient surgical care. Outpatient lower extremity arthroplasty is commonplace and provides helpful information that can guide the development of outpatient TSA such as careful patient selection and the use of standardized perioperative pain management protocols. In lower extremity arthroplasty, several authors have described challenges associated with nerve blockade and the advantages of high-volume local infiltration analgesia (LIA) for outpatient arthroplasty. Proponents of outpatient TSA also describe the importance of patient selection, standardized perioperative protocols and implementation of comprehensive perioperative pain management strategies that can include the use of perioperative ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus blockade with a "single shot" injection, ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus blockade with a temporary indwelling catheter (ISB), LIA near the surgical site, and multimodal postoperative analgesics.
