Overview: In the last 25 years, assessment of orthopaedic intervention has become patient focused, with the development of self-completion patient-centered outcome measures. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) is a joint specific outcome measure tool designed to assess disability in patients undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR). Although the psychometric properties of the OHS have been rigorously examined, there is little research on the patient's perspective of the OHS. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess whether the OHS is an adequate disability measure from the patient's perspective using qualitative analysis of annotations written on the OHS by patients.
