Beach Chair Versus Lateral Decubitus Positioning for Primary Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization: A consecutive series of 641 shoulders

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study comparing the rates of recurrent instability after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization in the beach chair position versus the lateral decubitus position. The study analyzed data from 641 shoulders and found that there was no difference in recurrence rates between the two positions. The overall recurrence rate at five years was 15.7%. The study also looked at potential risk factors for recurrence and revision surgery, with younger age being the only factor associated with recurrence at the five-year mark. The conclusion of the study was that there was no difference in recurrence rates between the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions for arthroscopic shoulder stabilization.
