Surgical complication rates after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with primary osteoarthritis correlate with the patient's overall health status and nicotine consumption. This may be useful for predicting the likelihood of surgical complications and may thus prove important for clinicians to better assess and explain possible risks before surgery.
