CASE:
A 49-year-old right-hand-dominant man sustained an auger-related injury that resulted in open dislocation at the left wrist and palm, with complete amputation of the distal aspect of the forearm and the hand. The injury at the elbow included instability with an ulnar coronoid fracture, posterior dislocation of the ulna, and posterolateral dislocation of the radius.
A surgical learning period may be quantified after which operative duration is significantly reduced. We sought to retrospectively quantify and compare surgeon’s learning experience for total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
