A Dutch Translation of the Hospital for Special Surgery Shoulder Expectation Survey (HSS-ES) for Preoperative Assessment in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Patients.

To date, no Dutch questionnaire exists to administer preoperative patient expectations in patients scheduled to undergo a total shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to develop a Dutch translation of the Hospital for Special Surgery Expectations Survey using a standardized translation procedure, to use both in clinical practice and in scientific research. Translation is performed on the basis of a forward - backward translation.
