The "Oxford Heup Score": the translation and validation of a questionnaire into Dutch to evaluate the results of total hip arthroplasty.

Background: The evaluation of a total hip prosthesis would be most complete if the opinion of the patient, surgeon and the radiographs are combined. Disease specific patient outcome questionnaires are scarce, especially in Dutch.

Methods: The disease-specific 12-item questionnaire on the perception of patients with total hip replacement was translated into Dutch.
