The three-component TAA was performed through an anterior approach.

A cross-culturally adapted and validated version of the FJS in our language (Italian) was used.

Robust validity was observed, in that the FJS had a strong correlation with the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, the MOXFQ, and the VAS (Pearson and Spearman values consistently above 0.7 or below -0.7).

Agency in the context of chronic illness management with disease-modifying treatments is commonly linked to adherence and confidence in care seeking. In musculoskeletal health, agency is commonly observed in the accommodation of conditions related to aging and reflected in studies of people not seeking care. The development of agency measures originates from the realm of medical management of chronic illness rather than that of musculoskeletal disease, which is often optional or discretionary. With growing interest in the universal adoption of agency as a performance measure for quality payment programs, there is a need to better understand how agency is measured across musculoskeletal conditions, and how agency may be a modifiable correlate of capability, comfort, mindset, and circumstances.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>We systematically reviewed the evidence regarding agency among people seeking musculoskeletal specialty care and asked: (1) Are greater levels of agency associated with greater levels of comfort and capability?

We included original clinical studies addressing the relationship between agency and levels of comfort, capability, mindset, and circumstances (by utilizing patient-reported agency measures [PRAMs], patient-reported outcome measures [PROMs], and mental and social health measures) involving adult patients 18 years or older receiving specialist care for musculoskeletal conditions. We identified 11 studies involving 3537 patients that addressed the primary research question and three studies involving 822 patients that addressed the secondary question. We conducted an evidence quality assessment using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) and found the overall evidence quality to be relatively high, with loss to follow-up and lack of reporting of sample size calculation the most consistent study shortcomings. The measures of capability varied by anatomical region. The Patient Activation Measure (a validated 10- or 13-item survey originally designed to assess a patient's level of understanding and confidence in managing their health and ability to engage in healthcare related to chronic medical illness) was used as a measure of agency in 10 studies (one of which also used the Effective Consumer Scale) and attitudes regarding one's management of musculoskeletal disorders in one study.

It is generally accepted that gaps and stepoffs up to 2 mm can be tolerated, but this assumption is based on older studies using plain radiographs instead of CT to assess the degree of initial fracture displacement.

Between January 2003 and December 2019, a total of 2241 patients were treated for tibial plateau fractures at six different trauma centers. During that time, the general indication for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) was intra-articular displacement of > 2 mm. Patients treated with ORIF and those treated nonoperatively were potentially eligible; 0.2% (4) were excluded because they were treated with amputation because of severe soft tissue damage, whereas 4% (89) were excluded because of coexisting conditions that complicated outcome measurement including Parkinson disease, cerebrovascular accident, or paralysis (conditions causing an inability to walk). A further 2.7% (60) were excluded because their address was unknown, and 1.4% (31) were excluded because they spoke a language other than Dutch.
