What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate how socio-professional categories influence the return to work for patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacement surgery. It will collect data on socio-demographic factors, clinical conditions, and the nature of professional activities before and after surgery. Patients aged 18 to 65 who were employed prior to their surgery will be monitored for their recovery and return to work status at three and four months post-operation. The study seeks to fill a gap in existing literature regarding the relationship between professional activity types and work resumption after such surgical interventions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men and women aged 18 to 65 who were actively employed before their surgery and are undergoing their first hip or knee prosthesis implantation due to arthritis.
Not a fit: Patients over 65 years old, those with pre-existing mental health conditions, or those who have been on sick leave for more than one month prior to the intervention may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights that help improve rehabilitation strategies and support for patients returning to work after hip or knee replacement surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While studies on this topic are rare and often methodologically weak, the approach taken in this study is novel in the French context.
