Fear of Reinjury Is Associated With Worse Physical Function Measured by PROMIS Following Minimally Invasive Achilles Rupture Repair
Prior literature suggests that patients suffering from fear of reinjury (FORI) following Achilles rupture may fail to return to sport and report worse Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Scores (ATRS); however, this prior study included patients who underwent both surgical and non-surgical management. This study therefore aims to determine whether self-reported fear (srFORI) is associated with worse outcomes as measured by validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures of physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) and ATRS following operative Achilles repair specifically.
