Orthopaedic procedures are typically performed to relieve pain, improve function, and maintain quality of life. Therefore, measuring these outcomes from patients' perspectives is fundamental to understanding how to improve orthopaedic care [11].

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) capture patients’ perspectives on what matters most to them and how these perspectives are impacted by healthcare [1]. Incorporated into clinical practice, data from PROMs can inform quality assurance and patient safety, value-based care, communication, and shared decision-making [11]. So why don’t more orthopaedic surgeons use them?
