Predictors of Work Disability after Limb Trauma
Median RTW time: 600 days
Returned to different job (26%)
Job limitations
Non-RTW: related to injury
Greater reconstruction vs. amputation—RTW (p=0.05)
Young age, white, high school or college education, high self-efficacy—significant for RTW
Blue collar jobs with high physical demands: low RTW
