Return to work policies and practices after total hip or knee arthroplasty in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands: an exploratory study

CONCLUSION: We found considerable variation in healthcare and social security systems. When available, national guidelines contained limited information. In all three countries surgeons need more knowledge and better collaboration with other healthcare practitioners. We advise that RTW multidisciplinary recommendations post THA/TKA be established by the national associations of the healthcare practitioners involved.PMID:38314658 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2304084
