Brief Summary:
To investigate the functional outcomes and prevalence and severity of knee pain for patients undergoing suprapatellar nailing of tibial shaft fractures.

Condition or disease
Broken Leg

Detailed Description:

Suprapatellar nailing...

Participants will be followed for 10 years prospectively. Follow up visits will occur at 2 weeks, 6weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years.

Interim analysis will be done at 1, 3, 5, and 7 years with final analysis occuring at 10 years.

Primary and secondary endpoints in patients undergoing suprapatellar nailing of tibial shaft fractures are:

  1. To evaluate the long term presence of knee pain
  2. To evaluate the long term functional outcomes

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Long term presence of knee pain [ Time Frame: 10 years ]
    During follow up visits participants will be administered the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain intensity short form 3a and Pain interference short form 8a. These forms will be analyzed together to determine an overall presence of knee pain.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Long term functional outcomes [ Time Frame: 10 years ]
    During follow up visits participants will be administered the Lysholm knee score and the PROMIS Mobility measure. These forms will be analyzed together to determine the overall long term function of the participants.

  2. Knee Range of Motion (ROM) [ Time Frame: 10 years ]
    During follow up visits the participants knee ROM will be measured

  3. Fracture Healing [ Time Frame: 10 years ]
    During follow up visits fracture healing will be evaluated
