We know that recovery after an injury is affected by many factors, not just how severe the injury is. These factors can include a person's mental health and their home and work environment.
A fracture is a break in a bone. There are many common fractures such as the shoulder, wrist, hip, shin and ankle. More work is needed to investigate how different factors affect recovery and quality of life following these common fractures.
There are a number of different patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires that are being used to measure the recovery of a person who has had a fracture. Unfortunately, these questionnaires only have limited information about a patient's mental health and social history. Currently, there is not one specific questionnaire that is used to compare the recovery of patients with a fracture, across different clinical settings.
PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) was designed to create a precise, efficient and user-friendly way of capturing patient reported outcomes, and specifically includes mental health and social factors.
We would like to ask patients who have had a fracture to complete these questionnaires at different time points following their injury.
The aims of this study are to find out what factors affect recovery; if any of these factors can predict how a person recovers and if we can determine where a patient's normal route of recovery should be at different time points, following a fracture of an arm or leg. This will help us to develop targeted treatment to help people in their recovery.
The research team will also determine if the current PRO questionnaires being used can be linked to PROMIS, to enable us to use one specific questionnaire to compare patient recovery across different clinical settings and across research studies.

You can take part if:
You may not be able to take part if:
• More than 14 days from injury to day of surgery / day of non-operative treatment decision. • Patients without capacity. • Patients with multiple fractures. • Pathological fractures due to cancer. • Recent history of substance abuse (i.e. recreational drugs, alcohol) that would preclude reliable assessment. • Pregnancy or women planning to conceive within the study period. • Patients who are not able to provide independent written informed consent unless defined and IRB/IEC-approved procedures for consenting such vulnerable patients are in place. • Prisoners. • Participation in any other medical device or medicinal product study within the previous month that could influence the results of the present study. • Patients unable to likely achieve anticipated follow up.
