Overview

Retrospective cohort study shows longer surgical delays in patients with lower socioeconomic status, suggesting health disparities.

Key Points

  • Patients in the most socioeconomically deprived quarters experience significant delays in ACL reconstruction.
  • Black patients had longer surgical delays compared to White patients, approaching significance at 5.14 versus 4.14 weeks.
  • Increasing age and BMI were positively correlated with longer times from injury to surgery and presentation.
  • At one year post-surgery, lower income quartile patients exhibited worse pain and physical function scores.
