A systematic review conducted by researchers at the Steadman Philippon Research Institute in Vail, Colorado, examined the impact of mental health conditions (MHCs) on clinical and functional outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty (SA). The review included 11 case-control studies published between 2016 and 2023, involving a total of 49,187 patients. The findings indicated that patients with MHCs may experience lower preoperative range of motion, worse postoperative shoulder function, and higher postoperative pain levels compared to patients without MHCs. However, patients with MHCs did show improvements in range of motion and functional outcomes after SA. The leading mental health conditions correlated with lower outcomes were depression and anxiety. The researchers suggested that preoperative physical therapy, mental health counseling, and expectation setting could help patients with MHCs achieve the maximum benefit from SA.
