It is true that age is just a number, but there are several things to consider before having shoulder (or any type) of surgery in later years.
Age can impact the success of shoulder surgery in several ways, including the quality of person’s bone density, muscle strength, and the number of medical comorbidities.
An important factor many older patients should consider is the efficiency of the surgeon. The less time a patient spends under anesthesia/in surgery the less opportunity for blood loss.
