【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle, Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Ankle arthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability. Total ankle replacement and Ankle fusion are two common surgical treatments with successful outcomes. Despite the effectiveness of those treatments, a subset of patients remains with persistent pain and functional limitations. This has prompted the search for predictive tools capable of identifying patients who are likely to benefit from surgery which allows surgeons to provide valuable prognostic information, implement, and direct appropriate treatment programs. The purpose of this study is to use preoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to predict which patients with end-stage ankle arthritis undergoing surgical treatment are most likely to experience postoperative improvements (a clinically meaningful change) in functional outcomes at an average follow-up of five years after surgical treatment.Methods:A prospective cohort design used to evaluate 427 Patients with end-stage ankle ...
