About this study

Official title: Validation of the Italian Version of the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) as a Patient-reported Outcome Measure in Total Ankle Replacement: a Study on an Italian Population

The arthritic pathology of the tibio-tarsal joint has a prevalence of approximately 1% in the general population, and its incidence has been increasing over the years. Advanced-stage arthritis causes pain, impairs mobility, and has an extremely negative impact on patients' quality of life, resulting in significant social and economic costs. Unlike hip and knee arthritis, ankle arthritis is often secondary to traumatic events, affecting younger patients. An emerging treatment for severe ankle arthritis is ankle prosthetic replacement, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to assess patient outcomes. The study focuses on the validity and reproducibility of the Italian versione of the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) in ankle prostheses, obtained through the translation-back-translation method, with a sample size of 120 patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. IFJS - Italian Forgotten Join Score

    The Italian Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) is the italian versione of the Forgotten Joint score that is a 12-question patient-reported outcomes measure created to measure a patient's awareness of their artificial joint. Every question is scored 1 (never) to 5 (mostly) according to the selected response categories. Thus, the raw score ranges from 12 to 60. The raw score is linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale and then reversed to obtain the final score. 0 worst possible score, 100 best possible score

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Antonio Mazzotti, MD PhD (0516445064, antonio.mazzotti@ior.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IFJS - Italian Forgotten Join Score (time frame: At baseline (day 0)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06091397, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
