Clinical Trial Summary

Validation of the cross-cultural adapted Italian version of the Oxford Elbow Score, in order to have an instrument able to detect the functional state reported by patients after elbow surgery.


Description:

An Italian version of the Oxford Elbow Score has been created by an experts committee, according to the published guidelines for the cross-cultural adaptation of self-reported measures.

The new version of the questionnaire will be administered to a sample size of 120 patients, in addition to MEPS, Quick DASH and SF-36 questionnaires during the follow-up apointments at 2 and/or 6 months after elbow surgery in two Orthopaedic Clinic in North Italy.

Reliability, validity , reproducibility and responsiveness will be detected by questionnaires.
