Brief Summary

Prospective data will be collected in approximately 3500 patients (700 per 5 injury groups).

Patients will be followed up according to the standard (routine) for up to 1 year after the treatment.

Data collection will include underlying disease, treatment details, patient reported outcomes (PROs), anticipated or procedure-related adverse events (i.e. complications), and radiological outcomes.

Detailed Description

More in detail this observational study includes the following sub-projects:

I) Weight -bearing and Gait Observation for Fully Individualized Treatment and Aftercare Following Surgery and Trauma

Objectives:

To analyse the association between automated, sensor-based patient activity and loading data, and clinical (Patient Reported Outcomes \[PROs\]) and radiographic outcome during fracture healing.

II) Recovery Trajectory using PROMIS®: Defining the Recovery Trajectory using PROMIS® to Optimize Decision-making and Outcomes following Extremity Fractures

Objectives:

1. To identify the factors predictive of longer term magnitude of limitations after extremity fractures (using PROMs)

2. To assess minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) in PROM scores

3. To define recovery trajectories of PROMs i.e. range, normative limits and score thresholds

III) Linking PROMIS®: Linking of PROMIS Measures to Legacy Measures in an Orthopaedic Patient Population

Objectives:

1. Administer and collect responses to the PROMIS PF/UE and PAIN INT and the four orthopaedic legacy measures in the same group of orthopaedic trauma patients.

2. Apply the methods of item-response theory (IRT) linking to establish a common standardized metric.

3. Develop equations for conversion of a PROMIS PF/UE and PAIN INT score to each of the specified legacy measures and vice-versa.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recovery Trajectories PROMIS/Linking PROMIS: PROs: PROMIS, HOOS, KOOS, QuickDASH, FAAMfrom the pre-treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PROs that measure physical limitations:

* PROMIS PF (10 questions about physical function/mobility from self-care to strenuous activities; a higher score indicates a better self-reported capability)

* PROMIS Upper Extremity (UE) (7 questions assessing arm and hand specific limitations, e.g. difficulty writing, lifting heavy objects; a higher score indicates a better function)

* Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) (11 questions assessing outcomes in upper extremity disorders; a higher score indicates a greater disability)

* HOOS

* KOOS

* Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) (21 items of activities of daily living and 8 items on a Sports subscale. A higher score represent a higher level of physical function)

* PROMIS Global Health (10 questions assessing physical health, mental health, and social health; a higher score indicates a better general health)

Go Fit Fast: Radiographic measurements, Patient related outcomes (PROs: PROMIS, HOOS, KOOS,), Loading/Activity pattern analysisfrom the pre-treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

* Radiographic measurements

o Healing (Radiographic Union Score in Tibia Fractures \[RUST\]/ Radiographic Union Score in Hip Fractures \[RUSH\])

* Patient related outcomes

* Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS): Physical Function (PF)/Pain Interference

* Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) (assessing short- and long-term symptoms and function in hip injuries; the lower score indicates higher symptoms)

* Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (assessing short- and long-term symptoms and function in knee injuries; the lower score indicates higher symptoms)

* Loading/Activity pattern analysis:

* Number of steps with weight-bearing \>80% body-weight (weight in kg)

* pressure distribution \[N/cm2\]

* center of pressure \[mm\]

* ground reaction forces \[N\]

* temporal and spatial parameters (time spent during gait \[min\], stance time \[s\], swing time \[s\], double support time \[s\], cadence \[r/min\], cycle time \[s\])

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PROMIS Pain Interferencefrom the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PROMIS Pain Interference (8 questions) assesses the impact of pain on common activities of daily life including social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and recreational aspects. The higher score represents a higher pain level

PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activitiesfrom the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities item bank assesses the perceived ability to perform one's usual social roles and activities. The higher score represents better ability for social roles

Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)-2from the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PSEQ-2 assesses adaptive coping strategy and the confidence one can achieve one's goals in spite of pain. Items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale and added to form a total score ranging from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy

Cognitive assessmentPre-treatment

The MiniCog is a 3-minute instrument assessing cognitive impairment. It consists of two components, a 3-item recall test for memory and a simply scored clock drawing test. A total score ranges from 0 to 5. A score of zero, one or two out of five points in total, indicates a concern in cognitive functioning.

Mobility ScoresPre-treatment

Parker Mobility Scale assess the patient's ability to perform indoor walking, outdoor walking, and shopping before the fracture. A score ranges between 0 and 3 (0 = not at all, 1 = with help from another person, 2 = with an aid, and 3 = no difficulty and no aid) for each function, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 (no walking ability at all) to 9 (fully independent).

PROMIS Depressionfrom the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PROMIS Depression assesses negative mood (sadness, guilt), views of self (worthlessness, self-criticism) and diminished positive affect and engagement (loss of interest) within the previous week. The higher score represents higher depression level

PROMIS Anxietyfrom the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PROMIS Anxiety assesses levels of anxiety through measuring aspects of fear (e.g. fearfulness, feelings of panic), anxious misery (e.g. worry, dread), hyperarousal (e.g. tension, nervousness, restless) and some somatic symptoms related to arousal (e.g. dizziness). The higher score represent the higher level of anxiety

Patient Activation Measure (PAM)-10from the treatment assessment until 12 months after the treatment (surgical or not-surgical)

PAM-10 assesses activation and the personal and psychological competencies. PAM segments individuals into one of four activation levels along an empirically derived 100-point scale. Individuals in the highest activation level are proactive with their health, have developed strong self-management skills, and are resilient in times of stress or change.
