Effect of total shoulder replacements on airport security screening in the post-9/11 era.

Abstract:

:There are few reports in the literature on the effect of orthopaedic implants on airport security devices and none on shoulder arthroplasty implants after September 11, 2001. Since 9/11, airport security screening devices have become more sensitive in response to the increasing threat of terrorism. Often, patients with joint implants activate the metal detectors and are subsequently subjected to more intensive screening. We assess the effects of shoulder joint implants on different airport security devices and what effect the results had on passenger travel. In this study, 154 patients who had previously undergone shoulder replacement responded to a questionnaire regarding their travel experiences after 9/11. Of these, 85 had flown during the time period studied (47 men and 38 women; mean age, 67.8 years); 79 had traveled domestically (mean, 7 flights), and 22 had taken international flights (mean, 6.1 flights). The questionnaire addressed each patient's height/weight, the number of flight segments flown (domestic and international), the number of times that a patient activated the doorway alarm/wand alarm, and the effect of a card stating that the patient had joint replacement (when applicable). On average, patients with shoulder replacement traveling domestically activated the security gate 52% of the time. The average for international travel was 42%. Of the patients who flew both domestically and internationally, there was a high correlation of activation (R = 0.54). Twenty-six patients had multiple joint implants (mean, 2.8). Multiple joint implants caused increased alarm activation (P < .001). All patients reported that their travel was delayed during the instances of security activation. There was no statistically significant effect of body mass index, height, weight, age, or sex on security device activation. Of the patients, 71% were told by their doctor that the shoulder replacement may activate security devices. Of these, 46 were given a card by their doctor indicating the presence of a total joint implant. In only 30% of the security encounters of these patients did the card expedite the screening process. This is the largest study on the effects of joint implants, and shoulder implants in particular, on airport security devices and the only one that has analyzed the data of post-9/11 travel. Patients traveling after total shoulder replacement are often delayed and subjected to more rigorous screening when traveling, especially in the post-9/11 environment. Doctors often warn their patients of potential problems and may try to avert this by giving them cards documenting the presence of a joint implant. The acceptance of these cards is sporadic. This study raises the importance of notifying patients of potential security delays, especially those with multiple joint implants, as they may directly affect travel plans. In addition, these patients may benefit from the establishment of an international joint registry.
