Widely used in orthopedic practice, the AOFAS scores include region-specific modules for the ankle-hindfoot, midfoot, hallux, and lesser toes.

Description:

The AOFAS scoring system combines patient-reported pain with clinician-assessed function and alignment. Scores range from 0–100, with higher values indicating better outcomes. It is extensively used for surgical planning, post-operative follow-up, and research on foot and ankle pathologies.

Use Cases:

  • Evaluating outcomes after foot and ankle surgery (arthrodesis, ligament repair).
  • Tracking functional recovery in conservative treatment programs.
  • Comparing results across orthopedic interventions.
  • Research on deformities, fractures, or tendon injuries.
  • Monitoring alignment and mobility in post-operative care.
