The Effectiveness of Indonesia's Seven - Step Return to Work Assessment on a Distal Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome : A Case Report Study.
Journal of UOEH 2024
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve. This uncommon condition frequently goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed even though it interferes with the daily activities of workers. Here we discuss the return to work status of a 37-year-old male patient who manages a manufacturing plant. He was identified as having Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome as a result of a foot abnormality and improper shoe wear. He had moderate pes planus and underwent tarsal tunnel release on his right foot. What are the determinant factors in defining a patient's status for returning to work after a tarsal tunnel release? We conducted a literature review using PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane. The Indonesian Occupational Medicine Association used the seven-step return-to-work assessment as a protocol to avoid overlooking the process. Duration of symptoms, associated pathology, and the presence of structural foot problems or a space-occupying lesion are factors affecting outcome. Post-operative foot scores, including Maryland Foot Score (MFS), VAS, and Foot Function Index, can be used to evaluate patient outcomes. Early disability limitation and a thorough return-to-work assessment are needed.
