Background: Research on outcomes after ankle fusion focuses on basic activities of daily living, fusion rates, and gait parameters. Little has been reported on the patient’s perspective after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the change in patient reported physical function and pain interference after ankle fusion surgery to guide patient expectations and improve provider communication.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected patient reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) data in 88 ankle arthrodesis procedures performed from May 2015 to March 2018. The PROMIS Physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) measures were collected …


Promis Pain Interference Is Superior Vs Numeric Pain Rating Scale For Pain Assessment In Foot And Ankle Patients, David N. Bernstein, Meghan Kelly, Jeff Houck, John P. Ketz, Samuel Flemister, Benedict F. Digiovanni, Judith F. Baumhauer, Irvin Oh Oct 2018

Promis Pain Interference Is Superior Vs Numeric Pain Rating Scale For Pain Assessment In Foot And Ankle Patients, David N. Bernstein, Meghan Kelly, Jeff Houck, John P. Ketz, Samuel Flemister, Benedict F. Digiovanni, Judith F. Baumhauer, Irvin Oh

Background: The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a popular method to assess pain. Recently, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) has been suggested to be more accurate in measuring pain. This study aimed to compare NPRS and PROMIS Pain Interference (PI) scores in a population of foot and ankle patients to determine which method demonstrated a stronger correlation with preoperative and postoperative function, as measured by PROMIS Physical Function (PF).

Methods: Prospective PROMIS PF and PI and NPRS data were obtained for 8 common elective foot and ankle surgical procedures. Data were collected preoperatively and postoperatively at a …


Validation And Generalizability Of Preoperative Promis Scores To Predict Postoperative Success In Foot And Ankle Patients, Michael R. Anderson, Jeff Houck, Charles L. Saltzman, Man Hung, Florian Nickisch, Alexej Barg, Timothy Beals, Judith F. Baumhauer Jan 2018

Validation And Generalizability Of Preoperative Promis Scores To Predict Postoperative Success In Foot And Ankle Patients, Michael R. Anderson, Jeff Houck, Charles L. Saltzman, Man Hung, Florian Nickisch, Alexej Barg, Timothy Beals, Judith F. Baumhauer

Background: A recent publication reported preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Instrumentation System (PROMIS) scores to be highly predictive in identifying patients who would and would not benefit from foot and ankle surgery. Their applicability to other patient populations is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the validation and generalizability of previously published preoperative PROMIS physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) threshold t scores as predictors of postoperative clinically meaningful improvement in foot and ankle patients from a geographically unique patient population.

Methods: Prospective PROMIS PF and PI scores of consecutive patient visits to a tertiary foot and …
