Arthroskopie Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Verfügbare Daten über die Inzidenz von Komplikationen nach schulterarthroskopischen Eingriffen sind unvollständig, zumal Entitäten wie Low-grade-Infektionen bisher unzureichend definiert und untersucht sind. Diese können sich klinisch z. B. als protrahierte Schmerzsymptomatik oder Schultersteife ohne eindeutige paraklinische Infektparameter präsentieren. Neben einer Übersicht der verfügbaren Literatur beschreibt der vorliegende Artikel einen diagnostischen und therapeutischen Algorithmus zur Therapie von Low-grade-Infektionen der Schulter nach schulterarthroskopischen Eingriffen.

Abstract

Available reports on the incidence of complications following arthroscopic shoulder surgery are possibly incomplete as entities, such as low grade infections are still poorly defined and explored. From the clinical perspective they can present as prolonged pain or shoulder stiffness without the presence of obvious inflammation parameters. This article therefore provides an overview of the available literature as well as an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of low grade infections following shoulder arthroscopy.
