The ability to perform different activities ofdaily living (ADL) was also assessed.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: This study aimed to assess the quality of life and shoulder functioning in the postoperative period of patientswith shoulder hemiarthroplasty (SH) and total shoulder replacement (TSR).Materials and Methods: Patient quality of life was evaluated using the shortened version of the QuickDASH questionnaire,which is a patient-reported outcome measure, and Constant-Murley score, which includes pain, function, range ofmotion and strength measures to assess the outcomes of shoulder disorder treatments.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The study included 41 patientswho underwent surgical treatment at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology at "Queen Giovanna-ISUL" UniversityHospital and "Boycho Boychev” University Hospital of Orthopedics.Results: The data obtained from Constant-Murley and QuickDASH questionnaires indicate that both treatment methodscaused the most significant changes in the first six months of the postoperative period and improvement in patients withtotal TSR continued until the twelfth month.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The ability to perform different activities ofdaily living (ADL) was also assessed.
🔬Design:Survey & Empirical Study
📍Scope:Comprehensive Sample

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the quality of life and shoulder functioning in the postoperative period of patientswith shoulder hemiarthroplasty (SH) and total shoulder replacement (TSR).Materials and Methods: Patient quality of life was evaluated using the shortened version of the QuickDASH questionnaire,which is a patient-reported outcome measure, and Constant-Murley score, which includes pain, function, range ofmotion and strength measures to assess the outcomes of shoulder disorder treatments. The study included 41 patientswho underwent surgical treatment at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology at "Queen Giovanna-ISUL" UniversityHospital and "Boycho Boychev” University Hospital of Orthopedics.Results: The data obtained from Constant-Murley and QuickDASH questionnaires indicate that both treatment methodscaused the most significant changes in the first six months of the postoperative period and improvement in patients withtotal TSR continued until the twelfth month. In the following postoperative period, functional changes were not that significant,and the condition of patients remained relatively constant.Conclusion: The quality of life evaluation of patients who underwent surgery of the shoulder joint included both subjectiveand objective criteria about symptoms and functionality of the entire upper limb. The ability to perform different activities ofdaily living (ADL) was also assessed.
