Development of the Core Outcome Set for Lower Limb Lengthening Surgery

These sets represent the data that should be collected in future studies in this area. To achieve this goal, I will need to clearly identify which outcome domains are important to healthcare professionals, patients, or carers, and determine which outcomes and outcome measurement tools should be prioritized for use in future studies.

The overall PhD process will include 4 main phases:

- Study 1: Outcomes and outcome measures to inform the development of the core domain set for lower limb lengthening surgery: A scoping review

- Study 2: Stakeholder perspectives on the outcome domains reported in the literature

- Study 3: Exploring stakeholders' experiences and perceptions of lower limb lengthening surgery - a qualitative study

- Study 4: The core outcome domains for lower limb lengthening surgery
