Overview

Retrospective analysis evaluates surgical outcomes and PROMIS in severe contractures, suggesting limited applicability.

Key Points

  • Surgical correction significantly improved contracture reductions by over 60%, demonstrating effective intervention.
  • Despite improvements in joint mobility, PROMIS scores showed inconsistent results for pain and function assessment.
  • Patients in the contracture severity group 3 experienced a significant decrease in upper extremity function post-surgery.
  • No complications or additional surgeries were reported, indicating a safe surgical approach for severe PIP contractures.
