Brief description of study
What is this study about?
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate whether patient knowledge and expectations for outpatient primary total shoulder arthroplasty (replacement, TSA), defined as discharge to home from the post-acute care unit by midnight on the day of surgery, are concordant with their surgical experiences.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Study-eligible patients scheduled for elective primary total shoulder replacement (TSA) with the study surgeon Dr. Matt Dillon will be informed about the study at their preoperative initial diagnostic visit.
Detailed description of study
What happens during study participation?
- Participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires on a secure iPad during their routine preoperative and three-month postoperative clinical visits or via secure HIPAA-compliant e-mail if preferred.
- The questions will ask about views on and experiences with total shoulder replacement, shoulder pain and function, healthcare quality of life and health literacy, and satisfaction with shoulder replacement surgery.
- Attending the standard of care preoperative shoulder replacement education class and meeting with occupational therapy (OT) before surgery is required for participating in the study unless participants have had a shoulder replacement with Dr. Dillon in the last year and attended the preoperative class and OT session at that time.
- Study participation will end after the completion of the questionnaires three months after scheduled surgery.
