Abstract
- A major limitation of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) postoperatively is the ceiling effect, where patients report the maximum score, making it difficult to differentiate between different conditions. Our findings regarding the SSV-Sport reveal a significant ceiling effect post-surgery, indicating the need for improvements in PROMs, including the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE). One of the problems with SANE is scoring a 'normal' joint as the maximum. Patients might tolerate some subtle imperfections in their recovery and still consider their joint 'normal'. Proposing the concept of a 'forgotten' joint into the SANE could be a more accurate assessment tool and c which could diminish the ceiling effect. We suggest a shift from 'normal joint' to 'forgotten joint' as a standard for evaluating postoperative recovery and function in SANE.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosures The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Arthroscopy Association of North America.
