Overview
Brief Summary
Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT), osteoarthrosis and impingement/instability syndrome are most common ankle joint pathologies. This study analyses outcome after various different operative treatment of aforementioned pathologies. Investigators hypothesis is that patient characteristics, type of lesion and surgical technique affect the result of treatment. The investigators will compare subjective (questionnaire) and objective (clinical examination) status of patient before and after operation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Tegner activity score
Time Frame: 36 months after operation
Tegner activity score is a graduated list of activities of daily living, recreation, and competitive sports. The patient is asked to select the level of participation that best describes their current level of activity. The score varies from 0-10. A score of 0 represents sick leave or disability pension, whereas a score of 10 corresponds to participation in national and international elite competitive sports.
EQ-5D questionnaire
Time Frame: 36 months after operation
EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. Health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The scale used in the health state description part has three-level; having no problems, having some or moderate problems, being unable to do/having extreme problems. Rated level can be coded as a number 1, 2, or 3, which indicates having no problems for 1, having some problems for 2, and having extreme problems for 3. As a result, a person's health status can be defined by a 5-digit number, ranging from 11111 (having no problems in all dimensions) to 33333 (having extreme problems in all dimensions).
FAOS questionnaire
Time Frame: 36 months after operation
Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) is a patient reported instrument that may be useful for assessing changes in foot/ankle pathology over time, with or without treatment. It assesses patient pain (9 items), other symptoms (7 items), function in daily living (17 items), function in sport and recreation (5 items), and foot/ankle related quality of life (4 items). Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating the worst possible foot/ankle symptoms and 100 indicating no foot/ankle symptoms.
Secondary Outcomes
- Kellgren and Lawrence score(36 months after operation)
