Psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Forgotten Joint Score usage in total hip arthroplasty
Abstract Background The ultimate goal of arthroplasty is thought to be the ability to “forget” a joint implant in daily activities. The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), a score system that evaluates how much patients have been able to forget their hip or knee prosthesis, was recently published. It is...

| description | Abstract Background The ultimate goal of arthroplasty is thought to be the ability to “forget” a joint implant in daily activities. The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), a score system that evaluates how much patients have been able to forget their hip or knee prosthesis, was recently published. It is based on a self-administered questionnaire that consists of 12 items. The major goal of the current study was to validate, adapt, and evaluate a Arabic-language FJS-12 (Ar-FJS-12) version in patients who had undergone total hip replacement (THA). Materials and methods The study included 107 patients who underwent THA 1–5 years ago and completed the Ar-FJS. The construct validity of the study was evaluated using the reduced Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (rWOMAC). To assess the test-retest reliability, 72 people took the Ar-FJS test twice. Results Cronbach’s alpha (Internal Consistency) of the Ar-FJS-12 was 0.957 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.931 indicating high reliability. For construct validity, there was a moderate significant correlation between the Arabic the rWOMAC with r = 0.595. The ceiling effect was 1.9% (n = 2), whereas the floor effect was 1.9% (n = 2). Conclusion The Arabic version of the FJS-12 valid, reliable tool and can be recommended for patients in Arabic-speaking communities who have undergone hip arthroplasty. Level of evidence III, validity and reliability study. |
