Video Summary

This study investigated the prevalence and impact of major depressive disorder (MDD) on patients undergoing shoulder stabilization surgery. Among 88 adults studied, 50% exhibited MDD symptoms preoperatively, correlating with worse shoulder function before and one year after surgery. Although shoulder function improved over time for all, depression scores remained worse in the MDD group. Importantly, preoperative depression predicted both poorer pre- and postoperative shoulder outcomes, mediated by ongoing depression rather than initial shoulder function. The study suggests screening and addressing depression preoperatively to potentially improve short-term surgical outcomes.
