Based on the patients\u2019 preoperative psychological status, they were divided into two groups: those with symptoms of anxiety\/depression were included in Group A, and those without symptoms of anxiety\/depression were included in Group B. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain were used to evaluate the patients before surgery and at the final follow-up. Independent sample t-tests and chi-square tests were used for between-group comparisons, and paired sample t-tests were used for within-group pre-post comparisons. P &amp;lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 62 patients with end-stage ankle OA who were fully followed up, 30 had symptoms of anxiety\/depression before surgery, a prevalence rate of up to 48%.
