Abstract
Shoulder arthroscopy offers a safe, effective, and less invasive alternative to arthroplasty in patients under 60 years of age with glenohumeral arthritis. However, indications include joint space of greater than 2 mm. For patients who do not meet arthroscopic indications, total shoulder arthroplasty is more effective than hemiarthroplasty. Performance and publication bias may effect generalizability of these findings. Biologic treatment options seem on the horizon.
