National Registry Participation

Patient Outcome Registry for the Evaluation of Ankle Arthritis
The overall objective of this project is to establish a registry of data for future research purposes.
The proposed centralized registry will help identify new risks, develop strategies to address them, inform decision makers, ensure patients safety and identify practices and health services areas that require optimization and improvement. The registry will also be used to generate research questions for studies related to ankle and hindfoot arthritis. The creation of this registry will help to achieve the goal of more efficient patient treatment and to further our understanding of ankle and hindfoot arthritis, a highly prevalent condition, and to assess the outcomes associated with conservative management as well as surgical intervention. Specifically, our research aims to:

• Evaluate the short and long-term outcomes of conservative treatment and surgical intervention based on patient-reported measures and clinical data prior to and including within the 12 month recovery period; and annual follow up visits.
