Patient acceptable symptom state for European Foot & Ankle Society Score After Hallux Valgus Surgery

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to determine the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for the European Foot & Ankle Society (EFAS) Score following hallux valgus surgery, as there is limited literature on this topic compared to the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. The authors found that the PASS for EFAS was 20.5 at 6 months and 23.5 at 2 years post-surgery, providing a benchmark for interpreting clinical outcomes in future studies. Additionally, the study noted a potential ceiling effect of the EFAS and suggested that the AOFAS PASS thresholds may need to be reconsidered.
