Abstract
BackgroundIn 2011, the European Foot and Ankle Society developed a Score (EFAS Score) to generate a standardized questionnaire for several European languages. The aim of this study is to analyse how the newly defined score correlates with already established function scores. MethodsThis study is a monocentric prospective study. The questionnaires were completed at least 12 months postoperatively at the same time point. All patients had undergone surgery with the Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis® procedure for osteochondral lesions of the talus. ResultsA total of 69 patients (33 women, 36 men) participated in the study. The EFAS Score correlates very strongly with the Manchester–Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) and strongly with the Foot Function Index (FFI). ConclusionThis study shows that the EFAS Score correlates significantly with the FFI and the MOXFQ. The EFAS seems to be a more patient-friendly alternative due to fewer questions and response choices.
