Effect of complications and reoperations on PROMIS scores for tibial plateau fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Tibial plateau fractures can result in significant morbidity, and complications following surgical fixation may negatively impact recovery. We aimed to evaluate whether such complications influence patient-reported outcomes at 6 months postoperatively.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single level I trauma center from 2022 to 2024. Adult patients who sustained a tibial plateau fracture (AO/OTA 41) treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were eligible for inclusion if they had completed Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) surveys at 6 months postoperatively and had clinical follow-up confirming radiographic healing. Patients were excluded if they were under 18 years of age, lacked adequate medical record
