Conditions
Brief summary
The proposed registry is necessary to monitor the natural history of shoulder pathologies occurring in the general population and to monitor short-term and long-term patient outcomes associated with the condition and contemporary treatment options. The aim of the registry is to objectively assess patient-centred outcomes of definitive management for shoulder and elbow pathologies. Patients will be enrolled in an opt-out clinical registry (longitudinal observational design) hosted by the clinic providing diagnosis and treatment of their condition. Patient outcomes, clinical imaging, joint function, as well as treatment and clinical information will be collected as part of standard of care and collated into an electronic registry maintained at the clinic. Patients will be monitored for up to 5years after definitive treatment.
Interventions
Patients presenting with pathologies of the shoulder or elbow and referred to specialist orthopaedic review. 1. Patients diagnosed with either a recent shoulder dislocation or clinically defined glenohumeral instability: Treated with non-operative management or surgical stabilisation. Followed for a duration of 2 years. 2. Patients diagnosed with rotator cuff pathology (subacromial impingement; tendinopathy; tear): Treated with non-operative management or surgical repair. Followed for a duration of 2 years. 3. Patients diagnosed with acromioclavicular instability of any aetiology: Treated with non-operative management or surgical stabilisation. Followed for a duration of 2 years. 4. Patients diagnosed with glenohumeral arthritis of any aetiology: Treated with non-operative management, arthroscopic surgery or total shoulder arthroplasty. Followed for a duration of 5 years. 5. Patients diagnosed with acute fracture of the scapula, clavicle or humerus (including associated glenohumeral dislocation): Treated with non-operative management, internal fixation or total shoulder arthroplasty. Followed for a duration of 2 years. 6. Patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder, prominent hardware of the shoulder, prosthesis issues, extrinsic tendon injury or neuological injury affecting the shoulder: Managed non-operatively or treated surgically (arthroscopic or open repair). Followed for a duration of 2 years. 7. Patients with a primary diagnosis invloving the elbow (including arthritis, fracture, tendon/ligament injury or instability event): Managed non-operatively or treated surgically (stabilisation, repair or internal fixation). Followed for a duration of 2 years.
