Cover Story: Resilience is a dynamic construct defined as the ability to recover from stress, and its impact on orthopaedic outcomes has rarely been studied. Outcomes: Physical Function (PF), Pain Interference (PI), Depression (D), and the Foot Function Index (FFI) were collected retrospectively. Resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Scale. Resilience independently affected patient outcomes across all instruments, except the FFI pain subscale. In this pioneer study examining the impact of resilience, we found that resilience has an independent positive effect on overall physical function, disability, pain, and mental health following MTP arthrodesis. These findings help to establish the role of early positive psychosocial characteristics within the orthopaedic foot and ankle population. View this paper
