Our results are very similar to the results from the normative English version of the knee questionnaire and to the results from translated questionnaires in other foreign languages. Our French adaptation of the Oxford knee questionnaire can be used to measure the global function of a patient before knee replacement as accurately as the original English version. It is self-administered, easy to use and patients can send their responses by post, which makes it a useful tool for the routine evaluation of patients before knee replacement.

Level 2. Exploratory cohort study with universally applied reference standards.
