Satisfactory return to work rates after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
More than two-thirds of preoperatively working patients were able to RTW after RTSA, depending on work intensity. Higher RTW rates were seen in patients who were not on sick leave preoperatively. This information is highly relevant for the surgeon to counsel patients accordingly and possibly limit expectations, especially in heavy workers.
