Effect of surgery for ankle osteoarthritis on locomotive syndrome
Locomotive syndrome (LS) is characterized by a decline in locomotor function due to musculoskeletal disorders. However, few studies have explored its association with ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) or surgical impact. This study evaluated LS and its improvement following corrective osteotomy (CO) or arthrodesis for AOA and compared outcomes between procedures. LS stages, ranging from 0 (healthy) to 3 (most declined), were assessed preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively using the stand-up test (ability to rise from different heights), two-step test (maximum stride length over two strides), and GLFS-25 (self-reported locomotor function).
