Distinct from the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) is a novel PRO measurement that represents the symptom threshold beyond which patients are satisfied with their postoperative outcome. The primary aim of this study was to use Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) and Pain Interference (PI) scores in combination with anchor questions to define PASS thresholds following reconstruction of the flexible PCFD. A secondary aim was to analyze how patient-specific variables and certain PCFD reconstruction procedures may impact the probability of reaching PASS thresholds. Methods: Using data collected from a foot and ankle orthopedic registry at a large academic institution, 109 patients who underwent reconstruction of a flexible PCFD between February 2019 and March 2021, had preoperative and 2-year postoperative PROMIS PF and PI scores, and 2-year postoperative responses to two PASS anchor questions (the delighted-terrible scale and the satisfied scale) were included in the study. Patients who underwent either a double or triple arthrodesis were excluded. Patient responses to the anchor questions were dichotomized and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed. Using the Youden Index to balance sensitivity and specificity and maximize the area under the curve (AUC), PASS thresholds with 95% confidence intervals were quantified using 2000 bootstrapped iterations. Lastly, multivariable logistic regressions were performed to analyze the influence of patient demographics, preoperative PROMIS scores, and certain PCFD reconstruction procedures on the probability of reaching the PASS thresholds. Results: The PASS threshold for PROMIS PF was found to be 42.6 using both the delighted-terrible and the satisfied scale and 73.4% of patients (80/109) reached the threshold (both AUCs: 0.91) (Table 1). The PASS thresholds for PROMIS PI defined using the delighted-terrible scale and the satisfied scale were 54.5 (AUC: 0.90) and 57.5 (AUC: 0.91), respectively, with 72.5% of patients (79/109) and 81.7% of patients (89/109) meeting the respective thresholds. Neither patient demographics nor specific PCFD reconstruction procedures affected the probability of meeting the PASS thresholds. However, a lower preoperative PROMIS PF score or a higher preoperative PROMIS PI score significantly decreased the probability of achieving the PASS thresholds. Conclusion: Following reconstruction of the flexible PCFD, PASS thresholds for the PROMIS PF and PI domains were found to be lower and higher, respectively, than population norms.

Manchester, Michael Cotton, John T. Campbell","doi":"10.1177/2473011424s00067","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/2473011424s00067","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Purpose: Triple arthrodesis is commonly used to correct severe or rigid progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). In many cases of PCFD, patients have associated first tarsometatarsal instability demonstrated by plantar gapping or dorsal subluxation on the lateral weight-bearing radiographs. During flatfoot reconstruction this is usually addressed with a first tarsometatarsal fusion to realign the joint and to restore the medial column height. However in the setting of triple arthrodesis it has not been well established if it is necessary to add a first tarsometatarsal fusion to the procedure in order to adequately correct the overall deformity. This study retrospectively examined pre- and post-operative radiographs of patients that had first tarsometatarsal instability as a component of their PCFD and who were managed by triple arthrodesis alone. Methods: All triple arthrodesis cases were searched for a single surgeon between 2013 and 2021. Inclusion criteria were patients who had a diagnosis of PCFD and had an isolated triple arthrodesis without first tarsometatarsal joint fusion. Pre-operative radiographs were then examined for the presence of first tarsometatarsal joint instability on the lateral weight-bearing view only. This was demonstrated by either plantar gapping or first metatarsal dorsal subluxation at the tarsometatarsal joint. Those patients who were a minimum of 21 months post-op were called to obtain current radiographs. Measurement of the sagittal first metatarsal-medial cuneiform angle as well as a the first metatarsal lift as described by King and Toolan (FAI 2004) was performed. Results: Twenty patients satisfied the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Of these patients, five had no correction of their first tarsometatarsal joint instability postoperatively and were considered failures. The remaining fifteen patients demonstrated early correction of their first tarsometatarsal joint instability and were called back for longer term follow-up radiographs. Average follow-up was 4.8 years (range 1.8 - 9.4 years). The sagittal first metatarsal-medial cuneiform angle (plantar gapping) improved significantly from 3.8 degrees to 1.0 degrees (p=0.00002). The first metatarsal lift (dorsal subluxation) corrected from 4.0 mm to 1.5 mm (p=0.000001). Only one patient showed radiographic evidence of arthritis in the first tarsometatarsal joint at final follow-up. Conclusion: First tarsometatarsal joint fusion to correct medial column instability is well established in flatfoot reconstruction cases. However less is known about whether this is required when performing a triple arthrodesis for PCFD. In this study, 75% of patients had their first tarsometatarsal joint instability correct itself after isolated triple arthrodesis and maintained this correction at 4.8 year follow-up. In many cases of PCFD with medial column instability, triple arthrodesis alone may be adequate to restore overall alignment thereby avo","PeriodicalId":12429,"journal":{"name":"Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics","volume":"39 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140756229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
