Abstract:
The patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important in assessing the patient’s overall health, lesion-specific outcomes, and condition-specific outcomes. PROMs are also known as “scoring systems” and are usually in questionnaires. There are almost a hundred different PROMs available in foot and ankle surgery. Each PROM has its merits, demerits, and validity. Selecting an appropriate PROM is important for adequately evaluating a patient’s health status. This article summarizes the most frequently used PROMs in the literature on foot and ankle surgery and presents the authors'recommendations.
