Utilization of validated outcome scores in evaluating treatment of osteochondral lesions: A comparison of ankle versus knee literature

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the use of validated outcome scores in the field of ankle osteochondral lesions. The speaker highlights the heterogeneity in functional outcome scores used in the foot and ankle literature and the lack of consensus on which metric to use. They compare the use of functional outcome scores in ankle and knee literature from 2011 to 2020 and find that validated outcome scores were primarily used in knee literature but not in ankle literature. The AOFAS clinical rating system, despite its lack of validity and reliability, continues to be used in ankle literature. The low frequency of validated outcome score usage in ankle literature may hinder the evaluation of treatment effectiveness.
