PATIENT - REPORTED OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS (PROMs)

A Patient-Reported Outcome Measurements survey is a special tool used within healthcare; its purpose is to capture patients' views concerning own health status, quality of life, and the results of medical treatments. These questionnaires focus on the outcomes of symptoms, function, or general well-being after receiving certain care or having a particular intervention.

The Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) assesses hip pain, mobility, and daily functional ability from the patient’s perspective, both before and after surgery. These scores allow us to evaluate treatment effectiveness and monitor improvements in hip function and overall well-being.

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is used to measure patients’ perspectives of their knee before and after surgery. It provides valuable insights into knee pain, function, and quality of life, enabling us to evaluate surgical outcomes and monitor each patient’s recovery progress.
