Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Italian language Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) as an outcome measure for total knee arthroplasty in an Italian population

“…In the two other studies that included pre-operative data [35,36], our data (24.5 ± 16.6) was more similar to the data of the French population (24 ± 16) than the British population (11.5 ± 11.6). Likewise, considering the one-year follow-up data, our results (73.1 ± 23.4) were very similar to the French study's results (70 ± 27) and quite different from the British results (45.7 ± 31.2).…”

“…Furthermore, none of the patient's knees had been previously operated for any other pathology. Finally, this is one of the first studies to evaluate the FJS-12 from pre-operative presentation through post-operative follow-ups [35,36]. Although the FJS-12 was developed as a post-operative measurement tool, if future studies also collected preoperative data, it would provide reference point to which post-operative outcomes could be compared, providing a more complete understanding of the success of joint arthroplasty.…”

The Forgotten Joint Score-12 in Swedish patients undergoing knee arthroplasty: a validation study with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) as comparator

“…This may be caused by specific movements, i.e., squatting, running, kneeling, jumping, and pivoting/twisting, that are difficult to perform by a large number of patients who have undergone knee arthroplasty. Previous reports of the FJS-12 ceiling effects after knee arthroplasty range from 0% to 9.2% (Baumann et al 2016, Thienpont et al 2016, Hamilton et al 2017, Robinson et al 2018. The present study showed that the FJS-12 had lower ceiling effects than the KOOS (Table 2), which has similarly been found in other studies (Thompson et al 2015, Thienpont et al 2016.…”

Our findings on ceiling effects (2.8%) are considerably lower compared with recently published results (21%) by Larsson et al (2019) for the FJS-12 in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).…”
