Patient questionnaires with the right questions seem like the way to go.

When I was considering a Bankhart repair for my shoulder the number I looked at was return to sport. Sure, people can be biased about this, but this seems about as objective as you can get: “Are you able to participate in the activities you were able to before your injury?”

If you are getting a surgery without measurable outcomes, why are you getting this surgery at all?

Thanks for that! I think thats a great indicator to note for the future.
