John
I assume you mean the AOFAS scale.
see:
Parker J, Nester CJ, Long AF, Barrie J. The problem with
measuring patient perceptions of outcome with existing outcome
measures in foot and ankle surgery. Foot Ankle Int. 2003
Jan;24(1):56-60.
for some general issues in this area. I have a PhD studnet working
on surgical outcome measures at present and, as the paper
suggests, we are sceptical of the AOFAS scales - depending on
what you are trying to "measure"
cheers
