EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D 5L): The EQ-5D 5L is a generic tool for measuring quality of life, describing health in terms of five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression (Conner-Spady et al. 2015). Patients respond to each item on a 5 level range of severity, following the format of "no problems", "slight problems", "moderate problems", "severe problems", and "unable to or extreme problems". The EQ-5D 5L has been shown to have good validity and discriminatory power in a range of pathologies (Janssen et al. 2013).
MODEMs Expectation Scale: The MODEMS expectations scale is a 6-item instrument developed as part of the MODEMS project (AAOS) as per Tashjian et al (2007). It has demonstrated good internal consistency and re-test reliability. Each item is scored from 1 (lowest level of expectations) to 5 (highest level of expectations), and a mean score for the 6 items is calculated (Zywiel et al. 2013; Dunn et al. 2016).
Return to activity (work or sport): This will be addressed using Patient History and follow-up window in Socrates with 8 questions for return to work and 7 questions for return to sport.
Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (QuickDASH): The QuickDASH is the 11-item shortened version of a questionnaire assessing activity limitations and symptoms in people with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb (Beaton et al. 2005), which has similar measurement properties to the full 30-item DASH (Gummeson et al. 2006), particularly for patients undergoing RCR (MacDermid et al. 2014). A minimum of 10 out of 11 items are required for calculation of a QuickDash score, which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). The MCID score for the QuickDASH is 15.9 points (Franchignoni et al. 2014).
