Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators's aim is to examine trunk and upper extremity edema after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and/or labrum repair surgeries. During surgery, the shoulder joint capsule is cut and the joint is entered arthroscopically. During this procedure, approximately 3-6 liters of saline fluid is injected into the joint, depending on the duration of the surgery. The given fluid accumulates out of the joint in relation to the duration of the surgery and the amount of fluid given. In this study, the investigators aim is to examine how much the extra-articular fluid collects under the skin of the upper extremity and trunk, and the change in the amount of fluid 24 hours after surgery. Examination of the amount of subcutaneous fluid may help to better understand the postoperative complications such as edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, compartment syndrome, myolysis, and dyspnea. How much edema the joint and surrounding structures are exposed to and its relationship with the duration of surgery can help to clinicians determine the safe discharge time.

Patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy surgery

Patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery by a single surgeon at Gazi Hospital Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology (rotator cuff repair, slap, bankart repair)

Edema measurement

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Subcutaneous fluid measurements will be made 3 times in total, before the surgery, immediately after the surgery and 24 hours after the surgery. Measurements will be made with the MoistureMeterD Compact local edema measuring device.

Points to be measured:

1. Midpoint of the upper trapezius muscle
2. 5 cm distal to anterior acromion
3. 5cm distal to lateral acromion
4. 5cm distal to posterior acromion
5. 3cm medial to the axilla
6. Anterior cubital fossa
7. Carpal tunnel
