Brief Summary

This study aims to describe the medical, social, and organizational determinants of returning to work after an osteoarticular injury, particularly limb fractures. Using observational data, the study will evaluate the modalities of returning to work within 12 months of the injury and analyze the factors influencing professional reintegration, including the severity of the injury, functional recovery, pain, professional characteristics, workplace accommodations, and administrative support measures such as recognition of disabled worker status. The study will also explore the point at which the issue of returning to work is first raised with the patient during hospitalization, a period during which professional reintegration is often insufficiently anticipated. By identifying current practices and breaking points, this study aims to improve understanding of the pathways to returning to work in the context of the healthcare system and the world of work in France.

Working-Age Adults With Osteoarticular Trauma

This cohort includes adult patients of working age who were employed prior to an osteoarticular trauma and were followed at a tertiary hospital center.

Participants were followed at a tertiary hospital center and received care for osteoarticular trauma between June 2021 and June 2024. The study includes patients with available medical records allowing retrospective data extraction, as well as prospective collection of self-reported data through questionnaires, without any modification of standard clinical care.

You may qualify if:

• Adults who were treated for osteoarticular trauma at the hospital between June 2021 and June 2024
