PROMs in orthopedics
Beyond imaging and functional tests
X-rays, MRI, CT arthrography, electromyography, strength and range of motion tests: orthopedics has no shortage of objective examinations. But these indicators reveal nothing about the pain that prevents sleep, the difficulty climbing stairs or buttoning a shirt, nor the anxiety caused by prolonged sick leave.
PROMs bridge the gap between what examinations reveal and what patients experience in their daily lives.
“I spend only 6 minutes per month on randomized data collection, which strengthens the statistical value of my results without slowing down my practice.”
Dr. Ludovic Ardouin,
Orthopedic Surgeon, Elsan Santé Atlantique
For carpal tunnel
Nocturnal paresthesia, loss of grip strength, clumsiness, radiating pain, impact on daily activities and work. Two patients with comparable electromyography results can report radically different health outcomes.
PROMs enable you to:
- Quantify the real impact of the syndrome on daily life beyond electrophysiological data
- Assess symptoms such as paresthesia, pain, loss of dexterity, and sleep disturbances
- Track quality of life changes following release surgery
- Personalize care according to specific needs: rehabilitation, workplace adaptation, return-to-work support
Aggregated data support the continuous improvement of surgical practices and clinical research.
“Continuous improvement brings both pride and humility, collectively and individually. Our team is proud to have been part of this pursuit of excellence from the very beginning.”

Orthopedic Surgeon, Groupe OrthoSud
