The Oxford hip score (OHS) is a 12-item questionnaire designed
and developed to assess function and pain from the perspective of
patients who are undergoing total hip replacement (THR). The OHS
has been shown to be consistent, reliable, valid and sensitive to
clinical change following THR. It has been translated into different
languages, but no adequately translated, adapted and validated Danish
language version exists. The OHS was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Danish
from the original English version, using methods based on best-practice
guidelines. The translation was tested for psychometric quality
in patients drawn from a cohort from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty
Register (DHR).Objectives
Methods
To compare regional body composition, bone mineral density (BMD), and clinical outcome in patients with two different shoulder arthroplasty designs. This cross-sectional study included 54 patients with a total of 63 shoulder arthroplasties. There were 18 men and 45 women with a mean age of 68.9 years SD ± 10.5. Mean follow-up time was 39.2 months SD ± 14.4. The patients were divided into three groups according to their history: 22 patients were diagnosed with a proximal humeral fracture and treated with a stemmed hemi arthroplasty, 11 patients were diagnosed with osteoarthritis and treated with a stemmed hemi arthroplasty, and 30 patients were diagnosed with osteoarthritis and treated with a resurfacing arthroplasty. All patients underwent a one-day protocol: Regional Dual X-ray Absorptiometri (DXA) was used to measure BMD of the distal third of humerus and regional body composition of the upper arm. The clinical outcome was measured using Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder index (WOOS) and Constant-Murley score.Objective
