What constitutes a clinically important change in Mayo Elbow Performance Index and range of movement after open elbow arthrolysis?

Abstract

In patients undergoing OEA, the MCID for the increased MEPI is 12.2 points and 25° increased ROM. The SCB is 17.3 points and 43.3°, respectively. Future studies using the MEPI and ROM to assess OEA outcomes should report not only statistical significance but also clinical importance. Cite this article: <i>Bone Joint J</i> 2021;103-B(2):366-372.
