Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation for instability as an alternative to the Rowe score

BackgroundSeveral functional outcome scores have been proposed for the evaluation of shoulder instability. Most are multiple-item questionnaires, which can be time-consuming and difficult patients to understand, as well leading lack compliance. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score is a single question that has recently gained widespread acceptance based on its simplicity correlation with more complex scoring systems. purpose this study was assess new modified version SANE score, SANE-instability Rowe after treatment instability.Materials methodsWe prospectively evaluated consecutive series 253 (268 shoulders) treated surgically or nonoperatively instability between November 2017 2019, whom were collected before and/or treatment. assessed following question: “What overall percent value your if completely stable represents 100%?” Correlations tested using Pearson coefficient (r) interpreted very high (r = 0.90-1.00), 0.70-0.89), moderate 0.50-0.69), low 0.30-0.49), negligible 0.00-0.29). Subgroup analyses also performed observe variations according follow-up length (before at 6, 12, 26, 52, 104 weeks treatment), patient age (<20, 20-29, 30-39, ?40 years), type (nonoperative surgical).ResultsThe 0.85, P < .001). revealed 2 0.74); 6 12 0.66 r 0.57, respectively); then 0.75, 0.78, respectively) (P across all types 0.76-0.85), aged ? 20 years 0.80-0.86), 0.93) .001).ConclusionThis demonstrated significant treatment, groups treatments. Owing simplicity, could used an alternative various time points. Several We surgical). This
