- W4304184593 abstract "Background Recent studies suggest poorer outcomes and higher costs associated with patients treated by podiatrists, yet no studies have evaluated patient perception and preference for foot and ankle providers. This study aims to determine patient perception of training for podiatrists compared to orthopaedic surgeons and patient preference for type of provider seen. Methods A 20-question survey was administered to new patients seeing either a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeon. Questions pertained to demographics, patient knowledge of their provider, perception of training requirements, number of years in professional training, and differences in surgical volume during training. Patients were asked their preference for a particular type of foot and ankle provider, and whether they perceived a difference in surgical skillset or a provider’s ability to manage different pathology. Results In all, 147 podiatry and 115 orthopaedic patients were included in the study. Demographics were similar between groups. Both groups believed orthopedists required more years of education and surgical training. In all, 61.5% of orthopaedic patients believed that orthopedists performed more foot and ankle surgeries and were more skilled as compared to podiatrists, while only about a third of podiatry patients believed this to be true (68.7% vs 38.6%; P < .001). Most patients believed orthopedists were more skilled in treating fractures. In all, 48.7% of orthopaedic patients preferred seeing an orthopedist compared to only 3.5% of podiatry patients. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that patients are knowledgeable about the type of foot and ankle provider they are seeing. Most patients believe orthopaedic surgeons require more years of education and surgical training compared to podiatrists and believe they are more skilled in fracture-related surgery. Fewer podiatry patients expressed a preference for an orthopaedic surgeon. Providers must play an active role in discussing their training background prior to treating foot and ankle patients, especially in the setting of fracture-related pathology. Clinical Relevance This study demonstrates that most patients seeking care from a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeon are relatively knowledgeable about the type of provider they are seeing; however, there are some differences. Most patients understand that orthopaedic surgeons require more years of education and surgical training and also believe orthopaedic surgeons are more skilled in fracture work and taking care of arthritic conditions. In general, podiatry patients have less preference for seeing an orthopaedic surgeon; however, many of these patients are seeking care for wounds and infections. With expanding roles and scope of practice among podiatry providers, it is important that providers become more active in explaining their training background and qualifications when treating foot and ankle conditions.
