What patients with proximal humerus fractures really want and what commonly used outcome scores measure
We identified 6 items from daily life that are of essential importance for patient-reported healthy shoulder function and treatment satisfaction regardless of age and gender. Until a reliable and valid scoring system for PHF is developed that includes these items, we recommend using the OSS, as it most closely reflects patient-reported interests.
