Validation of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) for Ankle Osteochondral Lesions Audio Poster

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discussed a study on the validation of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) for osteochondral lesions of the ankle. Osteochondral lesions of the ankle joint are commonly managed with surgical intervention, but no patient reported outcome measurement tool has been validated for them. The study aimed to validate the FAOS score for these lesions by evaluating its psychometric properties, including construct and content validity, test-retest reliability, and responsiveness. A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients who underwent surgical management of an ankle osteochondral lesion. The FAOS score demonstrated moderate correlation with physical health domains, acceptable content validity, and acceptable test-retest reliability. It was found to be a valid, reliable, and responsive patient-reported outcome scale for osteochondral lesions in the ankle.
