Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine any functional outcome differences in patients who have undergone surgical treatment for ankle osteoarthritis using surveys, step counts, and laboratory gait analysis.

This study is closed to recruitment; follow-up procedures are completed; the study remains open for data analysis. Enrollment was completed by August 2012.

As of July 2016, the study is currently analyzing data.

In April 2017 the study was approved to begin long term follow-up with study participants. Study personnel contact participants via telephone and/or U.S. Mail to tell them about long term follow-up, and to ask whether they are willing to continue study participation. Long term follow-up will be for up to 12 years after the participant's ankle surgery.

PROCEDURE

Gait analysis

Subjects will come into motion analysis laboratory at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. A standard set of body measurements will be taken using calipers, a measuring tape, and a scale (for example height, weight, leg length, foot length, etc). The investigators will then attach small reflective markers to the body using double-sided tape and ask the participants to walk several times as the motion of each marker is recorded by infrared cameras.
