Functional outcome measures of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures have been documented using general health surveys (SF36) and disease-specific health surveys (Visual Analogue Scale). A simple oral analogue scale (OAS) was collected on 115 patients with 124 displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures at 2 years or more after fractures. There was a high correlation ( r = 0.72, P < 0.0001) between the verbal OAS and the written Visual Analogue Scale. We believe that the OAS may assist in follow-up outcome assessment and management in this difficult trauma patient population. Outcomes may be accomplished verbally rather than in written form.
