| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Pott’s fracture is considered the most frequent type of ankle fractures and constitutes the most common complaint in the emergency department. Aim: to assess patients’ knowledge and functional outcome regarding Pott’s fracture at Aswan University Hospital. Subjects and method: This study utilized a descriptive research design. Setting: This study was executed at Aswan University Hospital's orthopedic department and outpatient clinics. Subjects: A purposive sample of 80 patients who fulfilled specific inclusion criteria. Tools: Tool I: Patients’ health assessment questionnaire sheet. Tool II: Patients’ knowledge questionnaire sheet. Tool III: Baird and Jackson Scoring System (BJSS) to assess physical activity and functional ability. Results: demonstrate that more than three-quarters of the participants had unsatisfactory total knowledge score regarding Pott’s fractures. Furthermore, about ninety-one point three of the participants had poor functional outcome by using Baird and Jackson scoring scale. Conclusion: Study’s findings highlighted that decreased knowledge about Pott’s fracture patients lead to physical inactivity, functional disability and other complications. Recommendation: Educational guidelines should be encouraged and suggested to all patients with Pott’s fracture in order to increase patients' education and functional outcomes. | ||||
