Summary

Work-related factors, like National Institute of Social Security (INSS) leave, can delay return to work after carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery. Self-employed individuals tend to return to work sooner than those with formal contracts.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Understanding factors influencing return to work (RTW) post-CTS surgery is crucial for patient recovery and economic reintegration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of work-related factors on the time taken to return to work after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive observational study was conducted on 56 patients who underwent CTS surgery.
  • Data collected included profession, employment status, time off work, reasons for return, stress levels, National Institute of Social Security (INSS) leave, job function changes, and work effort.

Main Results:

  • The average time to return to work was 39.8 days.
  • Patients on leave granted by the INSS experienced an average delay of 47.8 days (p=0.003).
  • Individuals undergoing surgery on their left upper limb returned to work approximately one week earlier than those with surgery on their right (p=0.025).

Conclusions:

  • National Institute of Social Security (INSS) coverage is associated with a delay of approximately two weeks in return to work.
  • Work-related factors significantly influence the recovery timeline and return to employment after CTS surgery.
