Objectives
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the ankle joint is associated with life-long joint pain and disability if not appropriately managed. There is a dearth of research concerning ankle OA and the impact on those living with the condition. Aim To explore the experiences of people living with painful OA ankle and their views about the non-surgical management of this condition. Design Qualitative design, using semi-structured interviews. Participants Nine participants, recruited from an orthopaedic clinic at a UK hospital and the general population. All had a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of OA ankle. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was undertaken to identify emerging themes. Ethical approval was obtained. Results Nine semi-structured interviews were undertaken. Eight participants were male, median age = 55 years (IQR = 42.564.5). Mechanism of onset was due to trauma (falls, repeated inversion injuries or road traffic collisions) (n = 7), or the effects of haemophilia (n = 2). The median duration of symptoms was 2 years (IQR = 1.510). Data saturation was achieved. Four themes were identified: Signs and symptoms Impact on participation Impact on self-identity & mental wellbeing Views on non-surgical management Conclusions This is the first study to explore the experiences of people with symptomatic OA ankle. Our findings suggest that those with OA ankle suffer with severe pain, which has a substantial negative impact on a person's physical and mental wellbeing. The findings of this study may be used to inform future research. |
