Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is the improvement in joint function, as measured by the FAOS activities of daily living subscore, after three months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints are the assessment of activities of daily living, symptoms, pain, sports and leisure activities as well as quality of life using the FAOS (Foot and Ankle Outcome Score). The health-related quality of life, the frequency and severity of adverse events, the frequency of surgical interventions or revision procedures, as well as treatment discontinuations due to adverse events and the occupation at the time before the accident and on re-entry are also determined. In relation to this, information is also collected on the time to return to work, the time to unrestricted full weight-bearing - return to sports, pain reduction, changes in the intake of pain medication, adherence to therapy, the extent of movement of the affected side and the unaffected side, and the swelling and wound condition.
