Preoperative Stress Assessment in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Sponsor: Ramsay Générale de Santé

Summary

Orthopedic surgery of the limbs presents a unpredictable postoperative course, which can be more or less lengthy in terms of functional recovery and resumption of personal or professional activities. Not uncommon, convalescence can require many months with dramatic personal and/or socio-professional consequences (disability, unemployment, etc.), particularly in the postoperative development of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and/or adhesive capsulitis. Among the suspected contributing factors, the existence of an unfavorable preoperative psychological context in patients is often mentioned. This research is based on the hypothesis that a high level of preoperative stress in patients could contribute to the occurrence of more significant postoperative complications in patients who have undergone shoulder surgery. The main objective is to measure the level of preoperative stress in patients undergoing surgery for rotator cuff tendinopathy.
