First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-12 (HOOS-12) into Turkish and test its reliability and validity in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Participants will complete the Turkish HOOS-12 and a general health survey at several time points, including before and after hip replacement surgery. The goal is to provide a trusted tool for measuring hip pain, function, and quality of life in Turkish-speaking patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient-reported outcome assessment using the Turkish version of the HOOS-12 questionnaire
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable Turkish tool for measuring hip osteoarthritis symptoms and treatment outcomes in clinical practice and research.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study focused on questionnaire validation, not a treatment trial. The results may not apply to all Turkish-speaking patients or other settings.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of Turkish-speaking adults diagnosed with primary hip osteoarthritis who are scheduled to undergo primary total hip arthroplasty at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Eligible participants will be recruited consecutively during routine preoperative outpatient visits. Participants will complete the Turkish version of the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-12 (HOOS-12) and the Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) before surgery. A subgroup of clinically stable participants will complete the HOOS-12 again seven days after the initial assessment to evaluate test-retest reliability. All participants will be reassessed three months after surgery to evaluate the responsiveness of the Turkish HOOS-12.
