Background. Masses are not uncommon in the foot and ankle. Most of these masses are benign, often leading clinicians to underestimate their potential for malignancy. Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of our clinical records, on patients with histologically confirmed musculoskeletal tumours of the foot and ankle, treated in a single nstitution between 2010 and 2019. The maximum diameter of each lesion was determined through MRI or Ultrasound analysis in centimeters. To develop a

Aims. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tool designed to assess artificial prosthesis awareness during daily activities following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) is the minimum cut-off value that corresponds to a patient’s satisfactory state-of-health. Despite the validity and reliability of the FJS-12 having been previously demonstrated, the PASS has yet to be clearly defined. This study aims to define the PASS of the FJS-12 following primary THA. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent primary elective THA from 2019 to 2020, and answered both the FJS-12 and the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome

Introduction and Aims: The clinical studies of knee disorders utilise patients’ activity levels to measure issues that are really important to the patients. Knowing the large variations among patients in terms of the frequency and intensity of sports participation and frustrated by the lack of relevance and specificity of current questionnaires to the Australian public, the authors have devised their own. Method: The new questionnaire was sent to all members of the Australian Knee Society in an attempt to formulate a consensus view that could then be sent for reliablility and validity testing. The
