Contemporary Review: An Overview of the Utility of Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) in Foot and Ankle Surgery

Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) has favorable psychometric and administrative properties in orthopaedic clinical research. It facilitates clinically meaningful data collection while minimizing administration time and survey fatigue and improving compliance. PROMIS is a critical component of patient-centered care and shared decision making, as it provides enhanced communication and engagement between patients and providers. As a validated instrument, it may also aid in measuring value-based health care quality. The goal of the current work is to provide an overview of PROMIS metrics used in orthopaedic foot and ankle, including advantages and disadvantages compared to legacy scales and PROMIS's applicability in specific foot and ankle conditions based on psychometric properties. We provide a review of the literature regarding the utilization of PROMIS as an outcome measure for specific foot and ankle procedures and conditions.
