Özet
Objective: The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) Midfoot scale is one of the most popular outcome measures for evaluating midfoot pathologies. We aimed to obtain a valid and reliable Turkish translation of the AOFAS Midfoot scale. Methods: Fifty-seven patients with midfoot pathologies were included, and the mean age was 38.47 +/- 12.54. To appraise construct validity, correlations were applied with the visual analog scale (VAS), the Turkish version of the foot and ankle ability scale (FAAM), and the 12-item short form health survey. Results: The AOFAS Midfoot-Turkish scale had adequate internal consistency (alpha=0.75) and test-retest reliability [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)2,1=0.86 2,1 =0.86 for function, and ICC2,1=0.95 2,1 =0.95 for total score]. The AOFAS Midfoot-Turkish scale total score had a moderate to strong correlation with VAS activity and FAAM-ADL, FAAM-Sports, and PCS-12 (rho=-0.69, p=0.001; rho=0.88, p=0.001, r=0.86, p=0.001, and r= 0.68, p=0.001, respectively). The lowest correlation was found between the AOFAS Midfoot-Turkish and the MCS-12 (rho=0.37, p=0.004). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the AOFAS Midfoot scale is a reliable and valid outcome measurement instrument that can be used to evaluate Turkish-speaking individuals with various midfoot pathologies, especially Lisfranc injuries.
