Sprains about the foot and ankle encountered in the Workmans' Compensation patient.
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2002Co-Authors: Nicholas A AbidiAbstract:Soft tissue injury in the Workmans' Compensation patient population has been previously poorly understood. Injuries that do not show up easily on radiographs are often undertriaged and undertreated. With the advent of improved imaging techniques, an enhanced understanding of soft tissue injuries has evolved over the past few years. Coupled with improved surgical and rehabilitation techniques, severely injured patients are able to experience remarkable recoveries. Many cannot return to previous function. These patients pose challenges to the astute clinician with regards to psychosocial issues relative to secondary gain. In addition, State-to-State variations in the Workmans' Compensation laws can confuse clinicians. Because of the protections and laws set in place in the United States, these patients can frequently be returned to the workforce as grateful and productive members of society.

Langzeitergebnisse nach perkutaner lumbaler Facettenkoagulation
Zeitschrift für Orthopädie und ihre Grenzgebiete, 1993Co-Authors: Jörg Jerosch, W. H. M. Castro, Henry Halm, G. Müller-silvergieterAbstract:UNLABELLED 93 patients with a mean follow up of 73 months (30-133 months) after lumbar percutaneous radiofrequency denervation (PRFD) were evaluated. Mean age of the patients at time of surgery was 47 years (18-76 years). 54 patients had no lumbar spine surgery prior to facet denervation, 32 patients had one or multiple disc surgery prior to denervation, and 7 patients had spinal fusions. 51 patients were in the process of early retirement or already retired at time of surgery. Out of all 93 patients only 50% had significant pain relief immediately after PRFD. 3 months after PRFD the success rate dropped down to 38%. 6 years after surgery only 25% of all patients had long lasting good results. Patients who were pain free after facet infiltration had significant better initial results, but were similar to the others after 6 years. 6 out of 7 patients after lumbar spinal fusions demonstrated bad results. The worst results had those patients who had applied for early retirement (workmens Compensation cases). In this group the recurrence rate was 74% 6 years after surgery. We found no correlation between the surgeon and the outcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Without pain reduction after facet infiltration the success rate after PRFD is low. Spinal surgery prior to PRFD significantly reduces the success rate. The worst prognosis have Workmans Compensation cases. The recurrence rate is high within the first 6 months after PRDF.
