Video Summary
The speaker discusses metal resurfacing arthroplasty as an effective treatment for young patients with end-stage shoulder arthritis, emphasizing pain relief, functional improvement, and reproducibility. Traditional outcome measures are inadequate for young, active patients. Etiologies include iatrogenic causes, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Non-operative and alternative surgical options like interposition arthroplasty have mixed results. Total shoulder replacement is standard but less ideal for younger patients due to implant longevity concerns. Metal resurfacing and hemiarthroplasty provide durable, reproducible results with careful technique, such as biceps tenodesis and soft tissue release, supporting successful long-term patient outcomes.
