Enhanced Recovery After Shoulder Arthroplasty. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols depend on multidisciplinary care and should be peer-reviewed and data-driven. ERAS has reduced hospital length of stay and complications, simultaneously improving patient outcomes. ERAS protocol after shoulder arthroplasty features multidisciplinary collaboration among different perioperative services and multimodal analgesia with a focus on regional anesthesia. Despite success, adoption is not universal because ERAS protocols are resource intensive. They require clinicians invested in the success of these programs and patients who can take charge of their own health. Future protocols need to include quality of life and functional outcome measures to gauge success from the patient perspective.
