This study used longitudinally collected patient-data from a cohort of patients in the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) ankle arthritis study to evaluate whether the post-operative COFAS Ankle Arthritis Score (COFAS AAS), a patient-reported outcome (PROs), was associated with need for revision surgery.Methods:Between 2001 and 2010, a cohort of 623 patients and 653 ankles undergoing total ankle replacement or ankle arthrodesis were enrolled in a multicenter prospective ankle reconstruction study.

The COFAS AAS, a patient-reported outcome measure was collected at baseline and annually post-surgically. Time to revision surgery...
