Predictors of Return to Work Following Primary Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: An Analysis of 1502 Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is undetermined which factors predict return to work after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Purpose

To identify which factors predicted return to work at any level and return to preinjury levels of work 6 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Study design

Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods

Multiple logistic regression analysis of prospectively collected descriptive, preinjury, preoperative, and intraoperative data from 1502 consecutive primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, performed by a single surgeon, was performed to identify independent predictors of return to work at 6 months postoperatively.

Results

Six months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, 76% of patients had returned to work, and 40% had return
