Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Arabic Version of the Harris Hip Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Harris Hip Score (HHS) questionnaire has been translated and validated into many languages including Italian, Portuguese, and Turkish but not Arabic. The goal of this study was to translate HHS into the Arabic language with cross-cultural adaptation to include and benefit Arabic speaking communities as it is the most widely used instrument for disease-specific hip joint evaluation and measurement of total hip arthroplasty outcome.

Methods

This questionnaire was translated following a clear and user-friendly guideline protocol. The Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability and internal consistency of the items of HHS. Additionally, the constructive validity of HHS was evaluated against the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36).
