A Retrospective Comparative Analysis of Demographics and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients With Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity and Ankle Instability or Hindfoot Arthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Progressive collapsing flatfoot deformity (PCFD) is a complex pathophysiologic condition, with many different treatment options. The complexity of the condition and variety of treatments can greatly impact patient-reported outcomes (PROs), along with individual patient characteristics. The purpose of this study was to examine PROs in patients receiving surgical treatment for PCFD and compare those outcomes with patients with ankle instability or hindfoot arthritis.

Methods

The Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Outcomes Research (OFAR) Network database was queried to identify all patients with flexible PCFD, ankle instability, or hindfoot arthritis procedures from October 2017 to October 2019 with at least 12 months of follow-up. Patient satisfaction was also measured at
