Impact of Socioeconomic Status and Social Deprivation on Postoperative Outcomes After Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

This study found differences in ASES scores by FED and HUD, but not by SDI. However, these differences may not be clinically significant. Worse active abduction in lower SES HUD groups was clinically significant. Despite institutional efforts to improve access, these disparities in outcomes highlight the need to reduce barriers to postoperative rehabilitation and recovery.
