Video Summary

This video transcript is a discussion among a group of medical professionals on the topic of treating osteoarthritis in different age groups. They discuss different treatment options, including total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse TSA, for older patients with osteoarthritis, while acknowledging that there is a lack of evidence for the use of biologics like PRP and stem cells in the shoulder. They also discuss the use of arthroscopic treatment, such as capsular release, for younger patients with concentric arthritis. The panelists share their practices and experiences with different treatment approaches and emphasize the importance of achieving full range of motion in order for treatment to be effective.
