Predicting tibia shaft nonunions at initial fixation: An external validation of the Nonunion Risk Determination (NURD) score in the SPRINT trial data
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Predictive models are common in orthopedic research; however, most models are not validated in an external population. The Nonunion Risk Determination (NURD) score was developed using a single-center cohort of 382 patients to reliably predict tibia shaft nonunions at the time of initial intramedullary nail fixation. The purpose of this study was to externally validate the NURD score using data from the SPRINT Trial.
METHODS: The …
