The MCID of the PROMIS Physical Function Instrument for Operatively Treated Tibial Plateau Fractures

Tibial plateau fractures comprise 1% of all fractures and 8% of fractures in the elderly [1]. This injury can represent a life-changing event for patients, with devastating short-term complications such as a 5.9-12% infection rate or long-term issues like post-traumatic osteoarthritis and chronic pain [2 –7]. Given the prevalence and risk for complications there has been an increased interest in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with operative tibial plateau fractures [2,8,9].
