Feasibility of applying the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) shoulder criteria for implants used in a United States-based integrated healthcare system.

Abstract

Benchmarking allows for measurements and comparisons of prostheses using agreed-upon standards so that surgeons may be informed on performance for clinical decision making. We sought to apply the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) for Shoulders methodology to benchmark prostheses used for shoulder arthroplasty in a US integrated healthcare system. Data from the Kaiser Permanente shoulder arthroplasty registry was used to identify 25,495 primary shoulder arthroplasties (2009-2024): 11,392 a
