Previous studies have analyzed the readability of PROMs used in orthopaedics in the English language; however, the readability of PROMs used in orthopaedics in the Spanish language has not been evaluated. Given the increasing number of Spanish-speaking individuals seeking orthopaedic care in the United States, it is imperative that PROMs are at an adequate reading level for patients to answer appropriately in their native language.

A total of 42 Spanish-language PROMs were identified and included in this study. The text of each PROM was inserted into multilingual readability software (legible.es), which analyzed the readability of each PROM using the Fernández Huerta and Índice de Legibilidad de Flesch-Szigriszt (INFLESZ) readability formulas.
