Validation, in a Pediatric Population, of a French Translation of the MEPS/MEPI Score
The MEPI (Modified Elbow Performance Index) or MEPS (Modified Elbow Performance Score) is a multidimensional assessment scale for elbow pain and function. This score is widely used in scientific literature, particularly for post-traumatic and post-operative evaluation, including in many French-language studies. However, no French translation of this score has undergone quality criteria verification and validation in a pediatric population.
