No association between preoperative physical activity level and time to return to work in patients after total hip or knee arthroplasty: A prospective cohort study

摘要

PurposeIt is important for patients of working age to resume work after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). A higher preoperative level of physical activity is presumed to lead to a better or faster recovery. Aim is to examine the association between preoperative physical activity (PA) level (total and leisure-time) and time to return-to-work (RTW).
