Purpose. The aim of the present study was to adapt the Foot Function Index-Revised Short Form (FFI-RS) questionnaire into Polish and verify its reliability and validity in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. The study included 211 patients suffering from RA. The FFI-RS questionnaire underwent standard linguistic adaptation and its psychometric parameters were investigated. The enrolled participants had been recruited for seven months as a convenient sample from the rheumatological hospital in Śrem (Poland). They represented different sociodemographic characteristics and were characterized as rural and city environments residents. Results. The mean age of the patients was 58.9±10.2 years. The majority of patients (85%) were female. The average final FFI-RS score was 62.9±15.3. The internal consistency was achieved at a high level of 0.95 in Cronbach’s alpha test, with an interclass correlation coefficient ranging between 0.78 and 0.84. A strong correlation was observed between the FFI-RS and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) questionnaires. Conclusion. The Polish version of FFI-RS-PL indicator is an important tool for evaluating the functional condition of patients’ feet and can be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of Polish-speaking patients suffering from RA.

Background. The ideal treatment of distal tibial extra articular fractures remains controversial. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing are the two most commonly used methods. We did a prospective randomized controlled study to assess the functional outcome of distal tibial extra articular tibial fractures by comparing these treatment methods. Materials and methods. Sixty patients with distal tibial extra articular fractures were randomly assigned to an IMN (intramedullary nailing) group and a MIPPO (minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis) group. All patients were followed up for a period of one year. At final follow-up, clinical and radiological outcome was assessed by foot function index. Malunion, infection, implant removal, time to union and secondary interventions were compared between the two groups. The comparison of continuous variables was performed by using the Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test in accordance with normality testing. A value of p less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. All patients were followed up for a period of one year. Time to callus formation was equal in both groups. There was no non-union in our series. Malunion was more common in the nailing group. The foot function index was similar in both groups. Conclusion. MIPPO and intramedullary nailing are effective treatment options in the management of distal tibial extra particular fractures, with comparable functional outcomes.

Background: We examined four commonly used scores, the SF-36, the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle Hindfoot Score, and the Foot Function Index (FFI) to determine their responsiveness and validity. Methods: Patients with end stage ankle arthritis were recruited into a prospective multicenter cohort study and baseline and one year outcome scores were compared. The Standardized Response Mean and Effect Size for the AOS, AOFAS, and FFI were calculated and the three region- or disease-specific scores were compared with the SF-36 to determine their criterion validity. Results: All four scores showed acceptable responsiveness, and when using the validated SF-36 as the standard the three region or disease specific scores all showed similar criterion validity. Conclusion: All four scores are responsive and can be considered for use in this population. The objective component of the AOFAS Ankle Hindfoot Score may make it harder to perform than the other three scores which have subjective components only, and as yet its objective component has not been shown to demonstrate reliability. We recommend use of a purely subjective score such as the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale or Foot Function Index as the region- or disease-specific score of choice in this population. As the SF-36 shows acceptable responsiveness, using it alone could also be considered. Level of Evidence: II, Prospective Comparative Study
