A clinical study led by Dr. Eric Makhni (CEO & Co-Founder of Protera Health) and colleagues at Henry Ford Health System examines how Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) can help predict recovery after meniscus surgery.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ The study analyzed 160+ patients undergoing meniscus surgery.
✅ Researchers identified the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for PROMIS scores in physical function, pain interference, and depression.
✅ Patients who started with lower function or higher pain interference were more likely to see significant improvements post-surgery.
✅ Smoking status played a role—never-smokers experienced better recovery outcomes than current or former smokers.
✅ The findings challenge common assumptions, showing that worse preoperative conditions can often lead to better postoperative results.

These insights highlight the power of PROMs in predicting surgical outcomes, improving patient counseling, and guiding treatment plans.
