Return to Work Outcomes After Common Sports-Related Orthopaedic Procedures: A Systematic Review Stratified by Occupational Intensity and Workers' Compensation Status
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to synthesize full-duty return to work (RTW) outcomes following common sports-related orthopaedic procedures, while also examining the influence of occupational intensity and workers' compensation (WC) status on these outcomes. Their systematic review found that RTW rates varied significantly by procedure type, with higher rates observed after meniscectomy and ACL reconstruction compared to rotator cuff repair and hip arthroscopy. Additionally, they noted that WC status and higher occupational intensity were linked to longer RTW timelines, highlighting the need for standardized reporting in future research.
