Editorial Commentary: Back to Work After Shoulder Biceps Tenodesis!!

Abstract

Assessing the time and factors influencing return to work after any procedure is very important. It helps in both preoperative counseling of patients and gives them a clear picture of the time needed to get back to work. Very few studies have commented on return to work after shoulder biceps tenodesis. In most patients, average time to return to work approximates 5 months; however, for a specific patient, the time to return to work is quite variable and multifactorial. It is important that future studies also analyze the factors and the time to return to preinjury work status.
