The Changing Incidence of Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression in Scotland
Description
This BJJ Podcast episode, hosted by Andrew Duckworth, welcomes listeners to an insightful discussion centered around the changing trends of arthroscopic subacromial decompression in Scotland. The show highlights the contributions of Mr. Paul Jenkins from Glasgow Royal Infirmary, who elaborates on a study published in the March edition of The Bone & Joint Journal. The episode explores the history and evolving understanding of tendinopathy, surgical techniques, and national variation in the provision of healthcare. With a focus on data analysis from national Scottish records spanning from 2014 to 2018, the dialogue reveals a significant decline in the incidence of the procedure, correlating with emerging literature questioning its effectiveness. The podcast emphasizes the importance of maintaining an evidence-based approach while considering regional healthcare variations, ultimately advocating for ongoing evaluation and feedback in surgical practices to improve patient outcomes.
