Symptoms of adjustment disorder and smoking predict long-term functional outcome after ankle and lower leg fracture
2020
Objective To examine the psychological, social, behavioural and injury-related factors impacting functional outcome in patients with ankle or lower limb fracture one year post-operation. Methods In this prospective study 66 patients with ankle or lower leg fracture were recruited and followed up one year post-operation. Possible associations between predictors and functional outcome were explored by regression analyses. Functional outcome was assessed with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score. Results Linear regression models revealed that smoking and elevated symptoms of adjustment disorder were associated with lower functional outcome one year post-operation…
Validation of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index in Patients Having Undergone Ankle Fracture Surgery
2019
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that is widely used to evaluate the pain, stiffness, and physical function of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. Although the WOMAC has also been used for patients after foot and ankle surgery, it has not been validated for this purpose. A total of 130 patients with surgically treated ankle fractures completed the WOMAC, Visual Analogue Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS FA), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), 15D Health-Related Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (15D), and Visual Analog Scale for General Health (VAS general health) after foot and ankle surgery. The…

2022
Urazy stawu skokowego ze względu na skalę pro blemu i różne metody zaopatrywania, stanowi istotny problem dla ortopedów. Celem tego badania była ocena wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na epidemiologię i leczenie urazów stawu skokowego. Materiał i metody. W badaniu porównano dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące urazów stawu skokowego u dorosłych i dzieci, zebrane w okresie pandemii COVID-19 (2020) i odpowiadającego jej okresu przed pandemią (2019). Analizie poddano dane epidemiologiczne, demograficzne, metody leczenia, czas oczekiwania na zaopatrzenie operacyjne oraz długość pobytu w szpitalu. Ze względu na brak prac analizujących wpływ pandemii COVID-19 na epidemiologię i metody leczenia urazów stawu sk…
