Most patients can return to sport, physical activity after flatfoot reconstruction surgery

CHICAGO — Most patients who have flatfoot reconstruction surgery can return to sports and physical activities, according to presented data.
“The study helps surgeons provide data-driven, sport-specific expectations regarding postoperative returns to physical activity. Correlations between [Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System] PROMIS scores and satisfaction indicate that good clinical outcomes are associated with patients’ ability to return to activities they desire,” Lavan Rajan, said at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting.
