Oxford Hip Score

The Oxford Hip Score is a questionnaire used to assess hip-related health issues, particularly before and after hip surgery. It consists of 12 questions that measure pain and function in everyday activities like walking, bending, or sitting. Patients rate their experiences on a scale, helping doctors understand how a hip condition affects quality of life. The total score ranges from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating better hip function and less pain. This tool helps guide treatment decisions and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions over time.
