Early Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy for Symptomatic Flexible Flatfoot.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) is frequently utilized to treat painful flexible flatfoot (FF) in children. The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the impact of CLO on patient reported pain and mobility using Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores in a cohort of pediatric patients treated for painful FF.

Methods

Children aged 8-18 who underwent CLO for painful FF correction were included. Retrospective chart review for PROMIS scores of pain and mobility were collected. Preoperative PROMIS scores were compared to PROMIS scores collected within 6-12 months postoperatively. Five PROMIS points was determined to be a minimal clinically significant difference, as this is half of the SD of the PROMIS metric. Preoperative an
