Preoperative PROMIS Physical Function Scores Predict Postoperative Outcomes Following Total Ankle Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite good evidence that supports significant improvements in pain and physical function following a total ankle replacement (TAR) for end-stage ankle arthritis, there is a subset of patients who do not significantly benefit from surgery. The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary analysis to determine if preoperative Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores could be used to predict which patients were at risk of not meaningfully improving following a TAR.

Methods

Prospectively collected preoperative and ≥2-year postoperative PROMIS physical function, pain interference, pain intensity, and depression scores for 111 feet in 105 patients were included in the study. Significant postoperative improvement was defined using m
