Workers' compensation is an employer-funded insurance program that provides financial and medical benefits for employees injured at work. Because many occupational injuries are musculoskeletal in nature, the orthopaedic surgeon plays an important role in the workers' compensation system. Along with establishing the correct diagnosis and implementing an appropriate treatment plan, the clinician must understand the fundamental components of the workers' compensation system to manage an injured employee. Ultimately, effective claim management requires collaboration among the employer, the employee, the legal representatives, the insurance company, and the orthopaedic surgeon.
工伤赔偿是一项由雇主出资的保险计划，为在工作中受伤的员工提供经济和医疗福利。由于许多职业伤害本质上是肌肉骨骼方面的，骨科医生在工伤赔偿系统中发挥着重要作用。除了做出正确诊断并实施适当的治疗方案外，临床医生还必须了解工伤赔偿系统的基本组成部分，以便管理受伤员工。最终，有效的索赔管理需要雇主、员工、法律代表、保险公司和骨科医生之间的合作。
