Italian translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the "American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society's (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale"

The AOFAS Clinical Rating Scales are four separate outcome measures that evaluate different anatomic regions of the foot and ankle: the ankle/hindfoot (AOFAS‐AH), the midfoot (AOFAS‐M), the hallux metatarsophalangeal‐interphalangeal (AOFAS‐HJ), and the lesser metatarsophalangeal‐interphalangeal (AOFAS‐LJ). Each outcome measure evaluates pain (one item), function (five to seven items) and alignment (one item).

Each item is scored from 0 (representing the worst foot status) to scores that range from 5 to 40, depending on the item (representing the best foot status). The items are summed to give a total score of 100.
