The Utilization of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Assessing the Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle Versus the Knee.

ABSTRACT:

Background

When assessing the outcomes of ankle and knee osteochondral lesions (OCLs), there are numerous patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that are used; however, not all are validated.

Purpose

To compare the utilization of PROMs in assessing the treatment of ankle OCLs versus knee OCLs.

Study design

Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods

A systematic search of Embase, MEDLINE, and CINAHL was conducted to identify all observational or experimental studies from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2023 that used PROMs to assess the treatment of ankle or knee OCLs. The frequency of the use of specific validated PROMs between the ankle OCL and knee OCL literature was compared using an independent t-test. Correlation coefficients were calculate
