description | PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of socioeconomic factors on the operative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and outcomes following surgical reconstruction. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries at a single institution performed from 2011 to 2015 with minimum 2-year follow-up was conducted. Patient demographics, insurance type, workers’ compensation status, surgical variables, International Knee Documentation Committee score, and failure were recorded from chart review. Education level and income were obtained via phone interview. Differences between functional outcome were compared between Medicaid and non-Medicaid groups. RESULTS: In total, 268 patients were included in the analysis (43 patients in the Medicaid group and 225 patients in the non-Medicaid group, overall mean follow-up of 3.1 ± 0.8 years). The Medicaid group demonstrated lower annual income (P < .001) and a lower level of completed education compared with the non-Medicaid group (P < .001). Patients who received Medicaid had a greater duration between time of initial knee injury and surgery compared with the those in non-Medicaid group (11.8 ± 16.3 months vs 6.1 ± 16.5 months, P < .001). At the time of follow-up, patients in the non-Medicaid group had a significantly greater International Knee Documentation Committee score compared with patients who received Medicaid (82.5 ± 13.8 vs 75.3 ± 20.8, P = .036). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Medicaid insurance were seen in the clinic significantly later after initial injury and had worse outcomes compared with patients with other insurance types. Also, patients in higher annual income brackets had significantly better clinical outcomes scores at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective cohort study. |
