Abstract

Background: Rotator cuff repair (RCR) is increasingly being performed for both acute traumatic and degenerative tears of the rotator cuff, whereas total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is reserved for osteonecrosis of the humeral head, arthritis of the glenohumeral joint, and failed RCR.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and patient characteristics of rotator cuff tears (RCTs), RCRs, and TSAs among workers' compensation claimants.

Methods: A total of 8347 RCTs indemnity claims filed to Accident Fund Group from 2007 to 2022 were studied.

Results: Over the study period, the percentages of RCTs increased from 41% to 65% among shoulder injury indemnity claimants, RCRs increased from 88% to 92% of RCTs, and TSAs increased from 1% to 5%.

Conclusions: RCT, RCR, and TSA have increased dramatically among workers' compensation claimants, with age of the injured worker being the primary determinant of the increase.

工伤索赔者中的肩袖撕裂、修复和肩关节置换术：对一家全国性大型工伤保险公司的工伤索赔进行的一项为期 16 年的研究。

背景：肩袖修复术（RCR）越来越多地用于治疗肩袖急性创伤性和退行性撕裂，而全肩关节置换术（TSA）则用于治疗肱骨头骨坏死、盂肱关节炎和RCR失败：目的：评估工伤赔偿（WC）索赔人中肩袖撕裂（RCT）、RCR和TSA的发病率和患者特征。方法：研究2007年至2022年向事故基金集团提交的8347例RCT赔偿索赔：在研究期间，肩部受伤赔偿索赔人的 RCT 比例从 41% 增加到 65%，RCR 从 88% 增加到 92%，TSA 从 1% 增加到 5%：结论：RCT、RCR 和 TSA 在工伤索赔者中的比例急剧上升，受伤工人的年龄是导致比例上升的主要决定因素。
