Correlation between patient-reported outcome measures and single assessment numerical evaluation score in patients treated with a volar locking plate for a distal radial fracture

Choi WS, Hwang JS, Hur JS, et al. - This study was carried out to correlate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE) score in patients treated with a volar locking plate for a distal radial fracture. Researchers performed a retrospective review including a prospective database of 155 patients who had undergone internal fixation with a volar locking plate for a distal radial fracture between August 2014 and April 2017. They included data involving postoperative PROMs (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation), and SANE scores at one month (n = 153), two months (n = 155), three months (n = 144), six months (n = 128), and one year (n = 73) after operation. A significant association was found between postoperative SANE and PROMs in patients treated with a volar locking plate for a distal radial fracture. The SANE score is therefore a reliable indicator of outcome for individuals who undergo surgical treatment for a radial fracture.
