Key Words Return to work; Orthopedic surgery; Farmers; Shoulder arthroplasty; Hip arthroplasty; Rural health
Core Tip This systematic review evaluates return to work outcomes among farmers and heavy laborers following orthopedic surgeries of the hip, knee, and shoulder. The study identifies a high return to work rate after shoulder procedures, especially anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, and reveals a significant lack of data for hip and knee surgeries in rural labor-intensive populations. These findings highlight a critical gap in orthopedic outcomes research and underscore the need for targeted studies to inform surgical decision-making and postoperative rehabilitation in physically demanding occupations.
