Abstract
Purpose of review: We aim to summarize the validation of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in orthopaedic conditions, particularly for non-English languages. We also identify completed translations and areas of ongoing need to support the expansion and broader adoption of PROMs in orthopaedic surgery.
Recent findings: Recent translations and cross-cultural adaptations of PROMs used in orthopaedic surgery continue to employ robust methods for validation. Many PROMs have undergone extensive translations since their initial development. There has also been a large volume of recent work to translate PROMs used in orthopaedic surgery, with more than 45 studies. While some PROMs are available in a wide range of different languages, some PROMs have undergone fewer translations. Additionally, while there has been ongoing work to translate tools and surveys used in orthopaedic surgery, a small proportion of these translated PROMs reflect that of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons-preferred list of PROMs.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of musculoskeletal medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert world-renowned authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of musculoskeletal-related conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as rehabilitation of the knee and hip, sports medicine, trauma, pediatrics, health policy, customization in arthroplasty, and rheumatology. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
