PROOF-UE™

Patient Reported Outcomes Of Fracture Healing (PROOF™)

Upper extremity fractures are one of the most common injuries in children. Currently we are unable to determine the child’s (or parent’s) perspectives on the child’s well-being, functioning, symptoms, and experiences with treatment because there are no validated patient-reported outcome measures for this purpose. Because of this, we decided to develop the PROOF-UE. The purpose of the PROOF-UE questionnaire is to obtain the perspectives of both children and their parents in 4 domains: how the limb looks, how the limb feels, how the limb is working, and how it is healing.
