Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of a Spanish version of the self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire (SAFE-Q). J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:627-631. [PMID: 36914484 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2023.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire is a comprehensive measure for assessing the perception of patients regarding their foot-related problems. However, it is currently only available in English and Japanesse. Therefore, this study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the questionnaire to Spanish and assess its psychometric properties. METHODS The methodology recommended by the International Society for Pharmaco Economics and Outcomes Research for translating and validating patient-reported outcome measures was followed for the Spanish translation. After a pilot study with 10 patients and 10 controls, an observational study was carried out between March and December 2021. The Spanish version of the questionnaire was filled by 100 patients with unilateral foot disorders, and the time spent to complete each questionnaire was recorded. Cronbach's alpha was calculated to analyze the internal consistency of the scale and Pearson's correlation coefficients for the degree of inter-subscale associations. RESULTS The maximum correlation coefficient for the Physical Functioning, Daily Living, and Social Functioning subscales was 0.768. The inter-subscale correlation coefficients were significant (p < 0.001). Additionally, the value of Cronbach's alpha for the whole scale was 0.894 (95% confidence interval, 0.858-0.924). The values of Cronbach's alpha varied between 0.863 and 0.889 when the value of one of the five subscales was suppressed, which can be considered a measure of good internal consistency. CONCLUSION The Spanish version of the questionnaire is valid and reliable. The method followed for its transcultural adaptation ensured its conceptual equivalence with the original questionnaire. Health practitioners can use the self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire as a complementary method to assess the interventions performed for ankle and foot disorders among native Spanish speakers; however, further research is necessary to assess its consistency for use by populations from other Spanish-speaking countries.

Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Joint Scale. Foot Ankle Spec 2023:19386400231214285.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal (AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP) scale is one of the most widely used outcome measures to evaluate hallux pathologies. This study aimed to translate the AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scale into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. METHODS The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP (AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP-T) scale were tested in 66 patients with hallux pathologies (52 women; mean age, 47.64 ± 12.75 years). Cronbach's alpha was used to assess internal consistency. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to estimate test-retest. Construct validity was analyzed with the Turkish version of the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and 12-item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-12). RESULTS The AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP-T scale had adequate internal consistency (α = 0.71) and test-retest reliability (ICC2,1 = 0.93 for pain, ICC2,1 = 0.97 for function, and ICC2,1 = 0.97 for total score). The AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP-T total score has a moderate to strong correlation with VAS-activity and MOXFQ (ρ = -0.77, P = .001; ρ = -0.69, P = .001, respectively). The weakest correlation was found between the AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP-T and the SF-12 mental component scale (ρ = 0.31, P = .01). CONCLUSION AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP-T has sufficient reliability and validity to evaluate Turkish-speaking individuals with a variety of forefoot pathologies including the hallux.

Temporal Changes in Clinical Outcomes after Minimally Invasive Surgery for Hallux Valgus Correction in Women without Postoperative Complications. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4368. [PMID: 37445403 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is currently used to correct hallux valgus deformities. Most studies reporting on MIS techniques to correct hallux valgus deformities included patients with postoperative complications. These reported complications, with an average rate of 23%, had significant negative effects on the clinical outcomes in this patient population. In the present study, a cohort of 63 women who underwent MIS hallux valgus correction was assessed preoperatively and at a mean follow-up of 1.0, 4.7, and 6.5 years using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale and the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ). The main criterion for inclusion in this cohort was a lack of complications during the entire follow-up period. The results showed significant improvements in both AOFAS and MOXFQ scores between the preoperative and 1-year follow-up assessments. By contrast, clinically small and nonsignificant changes were observed among postoperative follow-up values. The number of enrolled patients needs to be increased in future studies, with different surgeons and techniques included. Nevertheless, our study findings will inform patients about the outcomes they can expect over the years if no complications occur.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the responsiveness and the minimally clinical important change (MCIC) of the EuroQol (EQ) 5D-5 L score in patients that had undergone foot/ankle surgery. METHODS Patients that underwent elective foot/ankle surgery from January 2019 to December 2020 were included. They were assessed with the EQ-5D-5L, visual analogue pain scale and Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. The pre-post differences of all variables, Effect Size (ES) and MCIC were analyzed. RESULTS 167 patients. All variables showed a significant pre-post improvement. The ES for EQ-index and EQ-VAS were 0.61 and 0.33 respectively. MCIC for EQ-index was 0.17 and EQ-VAS was 8.54. MOXFQ index ES was 1.46 and the MCIC was 23.8. VAS decreased from 59.4 to 26.62. CONCLUSION The EQ-5D-5L is a sensitive test to detect changes after elective foot and ankle surgery with good responsiveness relative to the ES values in the EQ-index. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
PURPOSE Finite element (FE) analysis and clinical follow-up were used to evaluate the efficacy of modified scarf osteotomy for moderate-to-severe hallux valgus (HV). METHOD We retrospectively evaluated 42 patients (44 feet) who underwent modified rotational scarf osteotomy for moderate-to-severe HV at our institution between January 2010 and January 2019. Radiological indicators and subjective scores were recorded at different time points. To compare the results and elemental characteristics, a FE model of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint that included anatomically realistic geometrical and structural characteristics was built. The biomechanical features and correction differences in dynamic loads as well as the incidence of troughing were estimated. RESULTS Both the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) showed significant improvement 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05); additionally, the HVA increased from 6 weeks postoperatively to the last follow-up, while the IMA showed no significant changes (p > 0.05). The subjective scores significantly improved from the preoperative period to the last follow-up. The percentages of troughing and recurrence were remarkably low in our pilot study because of the innate stability of the modified rotated fixation. CONCLUSION Our preliminary findings suggest that modified rotational scarf osteotomy offers sufficient stability, correct HV deformity effectively, and good clinical outcomes for moderate to severe HV.
