Patients With Higher Resilience Report Greater Improvement in Global Physical Health and Pain Interference Following Foot and Ankle Surgery

Patients with higher preoperative resilience scores demonstrated greater 24-month improvements in PI, GPH, and SANE compared to patients with low resilience scores. While all groups reported clinically meaningful improvement from baseline, our results support that higher preoperative resilience, measured using BRS, is associated with improved patient-reported outcomes. Additional resources or support may be beneficial to improve postoperative outcomes for patients with lower resilience.
