Popis: OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence and severity of knee pain following retrograde intramedullary nailing of femur fractures and to better understand functional outcomes using validated patient-reported outcome measures. METHODS: Fifty-three patients with OTA 32 or 33 fractures treated by retrograde nail at a single academic Level 1 trauma center between 2009 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients verbally completed the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form 6b, minimum one year postoperatively. RESULTS: Thirty-four (64%) patients reported the presence of pain. Of those reporting pain, 16 (47.1%) reported their pain as mild. Compared to those without pain, patients with knee pain had lower OKS (30.38 +/- 10.65, versus 41.95 +/- 6.87; P
