Peripheral neuropathies after shoulder arthroscopy: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Peripheral neuropathies after shoulder arthroscopy are rare, though likely under-reported. Many resolve spontaneously, but some patients are left with permanent neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to review the literature to better characterize this patient population, diagnostic tests performed, the timing and type of surgical intervention, and report clinical outcomes.

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed. Articles in English were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL in August 2021. Article titles and abstracts were screened for relevance by two authors and discordant abstracts were resolved by the senior author. Data were subsequently extracted from the included articles.

Results

Seventeen articles were identified yiel
