Video Summary

In a video from the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, the speaker discusses the relationship between depression symptoms and shoulder function in patients undergoing shoulder stabilization surgery. The study, led by Dr. Garcia and colleagues, found that 42% of patients with ACL tears showed signs of depression consistent with major depressive disorder (MDD). These patients had worse preoperative and postoperative knee function. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression symptoms among patients undergoing shoulder stabilization and the relationship between depression symptoms and shoulder function. They enrolled 88 patients and found that half of them scored high enough to be in the MDD cohort. The MDD cohort had worse shoulder function and higher depression scores throughout the study, indicating a relationship between depression symptoms and shoulder function. The researchers conclude that addressing preoperative depression symptoms may improve short-term shoulder outcomes.
