The Impact of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis on Self-Reported Work Ability and Sick Leave.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the impact of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis on patients' self-reported work ability and sick leave, to compare work ability and sick leave with shoulder function after minimally invasive treatment, and to assess which prognostic factors influence the change in work ability.

Methods

A prospective cohort was analyzed in this study. The primary outcome measure was the single-question work ability score (0-10 points). Secondary outcome measures were quality and quantity of work, sick leave, functional outcome, and radiographic resorption. Potential predictive factors (treatment method, age, sex, resorption of the calcific deposit, physical work load, and work status) were tested in a statistical model. Follow-up was at 6 months and 1 year.
