Influence of workers' compensation status on postoperative outcomes in patients following biceps tenodesis: A matched-pair cohort analysis

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Aug 07, 2020

Lu Y, Agarwalla A, Patel BH, et al. - In view of extensive literature on the correlation of workers' compensation (WC) status with negative outcomes after orthopedic surgery and a paucity of evidence on outcomes in WC recipients undergoing biceps tenodesis, researchers here examined whether WC patients would report significantly worse outcomes postoperatively on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). They matched 38 WC patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis 1:2 to non-WC patients by age, body mass index, and operative limb and assessed them for functional and health-related quality-of-life PROMs and administered them a visual analog scale score for pain preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively. Significant improvements in all outcome measures were reported in all patients. Compared with non-WC patients, WC patients reported inferior scores on all postoperative PROMs and exhibited lower odds of attaining substantial benefit and satisfaction concerning improvements in both function and pain .
