About this study

Official title: Italian Validation of the Forgotten Joint Score(Fjs 2015)

This is an observational, prospective study that has the primary goal of validating the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)

Read the detailed description

This is an observational, prospective study that has the primary goal of validating the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) as described by Behrend and Giesinger in 2012. Patients will be given two self-assessment questionnaires (WOMAC and FJS) to perform internal consistency analysis, reliability and comparability of results in a population of people undergoing total knee replacement prosthetic surgery.

Comparison of data will be done for each patient by evaluating the evolution of the postoperative period, comparing the results obtained with a well known validated score (WOMAC).

Questionnaires will be given pre-operatively, at 6 month ± 2 weeks, and 12 month ± 1 weeks after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Validating the Forgotten Joint Score.

    Patients will be given self-assessment questionnaires Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) to perform internal consistency analysis, reliability and comparability of results in a population of people undergoing total knee replacement prosthetic surgery.

    FJS: minimum score 0 (worse outcome); maximum 100 (better outcome)

    Measured: 18 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. BMI

    weight and height will be combined to calculate the BMI in kg/m^2

    Measured: 18 months
