Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of patients with foot deformities on the background of alcoholic polyneuropathy

In the article, the authors propose their own scalea questionnaire for assessing the function of the ankle joint and foot, adapted for patients with alcoholic polyneuropathy, most of them suffering from encephalopathy. In comparison with its common prototype VASHA, the questionnaire developed by the authors (SHGS APN) is much shorter and provides clear, unambiguous answers. A comparison of the survey results showed that the new scale allows you to get the same results, but does not cause difficulties in answering questions from patients.Given the impossibility for gross deformities of the feet full restoration of their function, the paper proposes a system for preoperative planning and assessment of treatment outcome with the expectations of the patients. For this purpose, the concepts of "desired result", determined on the basis of a questionnaire before the start of treatment, and "final result", reflecting the correspondence of the actual achieved result to the desired one, are introduced.The evaluation system proposed by the authors makes it possible to simplify and make a more visual assessment of the results of treatment, which is confirmed by the clinical example provided in the article.
