Lower Risk of Revision Surgery After Arthroscopic Versus Open Irrigation and Débridement for Shoulder Septic Arthritis

Posted on: 15-Jan-2023

Risk of revision I&D was markedly lower after arthroscopic I&D compared with open, although the protective benefit was limited to patients aged 65 years or older. Arthroscopy was also associated with decreased costs, length of stay, and complications. Although surgeons must consider specific patient factors, our results suggest that arthroscopic I&D is superior to open I&D.

Orchard Orthopedics
The difference is the experience: designed around you, start to finish.

Orchard Orthopedics was built on a simple idea: the way medicine treats injured, active people is broken — long waits, rushed visits, and decisions shaped by insurance instead of what’s right for you. We chose a different model — direct access, unhindered care, and complete honesty about what you need, and what you don’t.

If you're dealing with a shoulder or knee injury, I’d like to help you get back to the life you’ve built.
