Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the complication rates of iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for scaphoid nonunions, hypothesizing that these rates would be lower than those found in adult populations.
- Records from 119 surgeries performed between 1995 and 2016 were analyzed, revealing that only 10 wrists (8.4%) had donor site complications, mainly including pain beyond 30 days and numbness, but no infections or reoperations occurred.
- The findings suggest that donor site morbidity in pediatric patients is lower than reported in older populations, with female patients showing a higher tendency for complications compared to males.
Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are integral to clinical practice. While new instruments bring updated methodology and delivery methods, they must be compared with existing measures to ensure that they are comparable with currently used instruments and allow ongoing comparison. In this study, we evaluated 2 PRO measures for patients with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI): the legacy Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) and the newer Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS).
