Occupation after hip replacement for arthrosis

R Johnsson et al. Acta Orthop Scand. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

After hip replacement for primary arthrosis, 69/104 patients younger than 60 years returned to work within 2 years. Long preoperative sick leave increased the risk of both retirement and long postoperative sick leave. The retirement rate was also influenced by occupation, whereas sex, age, or bilateral operations had no influence on postoperative retirement nor on postoperative sick leave.
