“…In an earlier study, we found that the use of SR implants led to significantly higher patient-reported hand function scores but more swan neck deformities 1 year after surgery. 1 In this study, the type of implant did not influence patients’ RTW, suggesting that the differences found for clinical outcomes did not affect RTW.…”

“…In a recent study, we reported a clinically meaningful improvement of pain among 60% of patients with preservation of PIP joint range of motion and high satisfaction rates during the first year after PIP joint arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. 1 Most research has focused on survival and revision rates of PIP implant surgery, complications, and range of motion. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] There is a knowledge gap concerning return to work (RTW) after PIP joint arthroplasty.…”

Background: The time until return to work (RTW) and possible factors affecting this time after proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthroplasty are unknown. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the RTW after PIP joint arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and assess factors affecting the time until return to their usual work. Methods: We used prospectively gathered data from 74 patients undergoing PIP joint arthroplasty with daily hand surgery practice routine outcome collection. Standardized RTW questionnaires were completed at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Return to work was defined as the first time a patient reported returning to work and performing the original work for a minimum of 50% of the original hours a week, as stated in the patient’s contract. Second, we evaluated baseline factors affecting the time until RTW. Results: The probability of RTW within 12 months after surgery was 88%. The median time until RTW was 8 weeks (interquartile range: 4-10). Physical occupational intensity (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.36, P = .001) and the baseline Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire work scores (HR: 1.02, P = .005) were independently associated with RTW. Conclusion: In conclusion, patients returned to work after a median of 8 weeks following PIP arthroplasty. Patients with medium or heavy physical occupations returned to work later than patients with light physical occupations. Better patient-reported work outcomes at baseline also led to an earlier RTW. This information can be valuable for providing adequate information during the preoperative consultation.

“…Authors from Nijmegen (the Netherlands) assessed The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) pain score after PIPJ arthroplasty, comparing preoperative scores to those recorded at three and 12 months postoperatively. 4 Adult patients undergoing PIPJ arthroplasty for either primary degenerative or post-traumatic osteoarthritis in 22 outpatient clinics were included; those with inflammatory arthritis were excluded. All patients had undergone non-surgical treatment for at least three months.…”

“…This annotation provides an update on the indications for each approach, their advantages and disadvantages, and a summary of the outcomes which have been reported. There are, however, many other variables which can influence the outcomes of PIPJA, including the type of implant (silastic or surface replacement designs of arthroplasty), the preoperative deformity, bone loss, range of motion (ROM) and level of pain, 1 the experience of the surgeon, and the patient's access to (and willingness to participate in) supervised postoperative hand therapy. Each approach also has unique rehabilitation strategies that are critical to optimizing the outcome.…”
