Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Return to work/activities

Average time to return to work and activities

Time frame
0-24 months following injury

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS 29) scores

The PROMIS-29 assesses seven health domains: physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain interference, and ability to participate in social roles and activities. Each of the seven domains has four questions which are scored on a five-point Likert scale. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method available at the Assessment Center website (http://assessmentcenter.net). A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores mean more of the specific scale's construct, which may indicate a desirable or an undesirable outcome.

Time frame
baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
2

Fracture Healing

Union rates as measured clinically and radiographically. Xrays will be collected from the electronic medical record.

Time frame
0-24 months following injury
3

Complications

Rates of readmission, reoperations and complications

Time frame
0-24 months following injury
4

Performance Measure- 10 meter walk test

Participants complete a modified 10 meter walk test which involves the subject starting from a standing position, walking 5 meters at a comfortable pace, turning around, and then walking back 5 meters to the original starting point. The test is repeated twice for each subject.

Time frame
3, 6, 12 and 24 months
