    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Occupational Health
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Hip replacement surgery is a common procedure for treating primary arthrosis.
    • Understanding return-to-work factors after hip replacement is crucial for patient outcomes and economic impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the rate and predictors of return to work within two years after hip replacement in patients younger than 60.
    • To identify factors influencing postoperative sick leave and retirement.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective cohort study of 104 patients under 60 years old who underwent hip replacement for primary arthrosis.
    • Data collected on preoperative sick leave duration, occupation, sex, age, and bilateral procedures.
    • Follow-up assessment of return to work, postoperative sick leave, and retirement status within two years.

    Main Results:

    • 69 out of 104 patients (66.3%) returned to work within two years.
    • Long preoperative sick leave was associated with a higher risk of both retirement and extended postoperative sick leave.
    • Occupation influenced retirement rates, but sex, age, and bilateral operations did not significantly impact postoperative retirement or sick leave.

    Conclusions:

    • A majority of younger hip replacement patients can return to work within two years.
    • Minimizing preoperative sick leave is important for improving postoperative return-to-work outcomes.
    • Occupational factors play a role in long-term work participation after hip arthroplasty.
