Socioeconomic Status and Time to Treatment in Patients With Traumatic Rotator Cuff Tears
Contrary to delays in orthopaedic care documented in literature, our study yielded no difference in TTT between varying levels of SES, even when stratified by the severity of injury. Thus, we reject our original hypothesis. Based on our findings, mechanisms in place at our institution may have mitigated some of these health disparities within our community.
