Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Patients often comment on swelling after foot and ankle surgery. However the relationship between swelling and outcome has not been defined. Pinsker and Daniels demonstrated that swelling was an important aspect of outcome. The purpose of this paper was to determine the relationship between swelling score and outcome after ankle fusion and replacement. A secondary purpose was to determine how this relationship changed in time, how swelling score changed before and after surgery, and determine differences in swelling score between total ankle replacement (TAR), open ankle arthrodesis (OAA) and arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis (AAA).Methods:The MODEMS outcomes package from AAOS was used, with the validated ankle osteoarthritis score (AOS) score being used to assess outcomes in the pain and disability domains. The swelling score was indexed from 1 to 5, 1 being no swelling and five being severe swelling. Outcomes were recorded pre-operatively and annually up to 2010...
