This new study quantifies the 30-day and 90-day reoperation and readmission rates for workers’ compensation patients undergoing lumbar spine surgeries, and compares these rates with those for non-workers’ compensation patients reported by other studies. It also discusses the major types of reoperations and the main reasons for readmissions, medical payments per claim, and interstate variation in the prevalence of reoperation and readmission.
