1 Before you use it
What it is
The general elbow version of the PRTEE, from the same author. Twenty items — 5 pain, 15 function — for elbow problems that aren't lateral tendinopathy.
When to reach for it
Post-fracture elbows, olecranon bursitis, ulnar collateral ligament injury, stiffness, and any elbow that isn't a lateral tendinopathy.
2 Giving it
Scoring
Pain (0–50) plus function (halved to 0–50) = 0–100. Lower is better. Same halving step as the PRTEE.
What it doesn’t measure
Range of motion — which in a stiff post-traumatic elbow is the measure that matters most. Record flexion, extension, pronation and supination in degrees, both sides.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Interpret against baseline.
Is the change real?
Student trap. Using it on a stiff elbow and not recording degrees. This is a symptom score — the range is the other half of the story.
