AB  - BACKGROUND: Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (fPAES) is a subtype 
      of PAES without anatomic abnormalities entrapment of the popliteal artery. One of 
      the management of symptomatic fPAES is surgical exploration of the popliteal 
      region with popliteal artery release with lysis of fibrous bands. There is a lack 
      of data regarding the long-term functional results of this surgery, most of the 
      studies focusing on vascular patency in anatomical PAES. The aim of this study 
      was to assess the efficacy of surgery in functional PAES, focusing on long-term 
      physical activity return after surgery with the Tegner activity scale. METHODS: 
      All patients who underwent surgery for fPAES from January 1, 2010, to December 
      31, 2020, were searched. After ethical approval, all patients were called to 
      evaluate physical activity since surgery. The Tegner activity scale is a 
      numerical scale with each value (0 to 10) representing specific activity. The aim 
      was to evaluate everyday activity limitations and participation restriction after 
      surgery. The results for each patient were recorded: "before symptoms," "before 
      surgery," and "after surgery." RESULTS: Over the study period, 33 patients were 
      included with 61 symptomatic legs. The mean time between surgery and phone call 
      was 38.6 +/- 21.9 months. The median score of the Tegner activity scale "before 
      symptoms" was 7 (4-7), the median score "before surgery" was 3 (2-3), and the 
      median score at the time of the phone call "after surgery" was 5 (3-7). P value 
      was <0.0001 by comparing results "before surgery" and "after surgery." 
      CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrated that the sport activity and intensity level is 
      significantly higher after surgery even if patients did not reach their initial 
      sport activity level.
