LAS VEGAS — A study that specifically looked at return to racket sports, not sports in general, in patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder or reverse shoulder arthroplasty showed a 79% return to racket sports by 12-month follow-up.
Furthermore, “Overall self-perceived sport performance following surgery stayed the same or improved in 82% of the patients,” according to the abstract of the study by Jonathan C. Levy, MD, of Holy Cross Orthopedic Institute in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and colleagues.
These results were presented to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
